Win 98SE on Dell D610 drivers
Hi.
I have installed Windows 98SE on my Dell D610 as I need to use it for some legacy software which won't run in a virtual machine with XP as the host OS. But I can't find any drivers for my hardware.
Can anyone help me out with a site that would contain these drivers?
Thanks :)

Intel, ATI, Broadcom, etc. - the component manufacturers. You're likely to get only partial functionality at best - that's a 15+ year old operating system you're trying to run on hardware that's about a decade newer.

No they cant. Go out and buy a Dell Optiplex GX260.
Then find a Purple WIN98SE Restore CD. with COA or Retail Full or OEM version of WIN98SE.
Make sure there is no more than 512 Megs Ram.
WIN98 and WIN98SE will crash on boot when more than 512 Megs of Ram is installed.

Thanks for the input, but I need Win98 SE to run on a laptop so its portable.
