Driver Repositories for Windows 95 Users?

Posted by Cliff on from the you-might-not-be-able-to-find-these-in-2-years dept.

musselm asks: "I've begun working with a PC-refurbishing operation which provides Win95 machines to folks in need. The most time-consuming part is tracking down drivers for disparate modems and other devices. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I have a dream of a few CDs with every possible driver for every possible device, but of course that's silly. Thanks for the help."

    Thousands and thousands of drivers.... and the site is easily found using Google. I swear, you'd think people "smart" enough to read slashdot would be smart enough to use a search engine. I guess I overestimate the intelligence of most people.

    Three easy steps to the Internet:
    Step one: Plug in.
    Step two: Get connected.
    Step three: There's no step three. THERE'S NO STEP THREE!

    The beauty of the Mac is that the simple things really _ARE_ simple. The hard things are still hard, but at least logical (i.e. no msgsrv32.dll to fight with ;)

    p.s. "boot -r" works wonders too. Oh wait, damn, can't do that either. How about running smitty? Nope, no go there either! Damn, find a real OS ... Sheeeet, even Red Splat has our friend Kudzu ..............
