Hi guys, I bought an Acer TravelMate 508T on eBay to run an old Milling Machine at my school, unfortunately the hard drive had a college's copy of windows 98 on it and so I couldn't do anything with it, I decided to wipe the disk and reinstall 98 finding that I then couldn't find any drivers from the Acer website (probably because of the age) or from any other driver website.

Does anyone know of a website that stores drivers for something of this age (1999 - 2000). The main ones I need are graphics, USB and Audio. Thanks in advance :p

Specifications:
CPU: Intel Celeron 500MHz
RAM: 192Mb DDR
GPU: PCI of some sort, possibly part of the CPU?
OS: Windows 98 SE

If you would have just renamed the old Windows directory to Windows.old (like I did on my W95 laptop) and then installed a fresh copy that way instead of wiping the hard disk, you could have used the drivers from the previous installation. If you do lose the drivers (like in your case,) some manufacturers, like Toshiba, still carry old drivers, but others, like Acer, don't bother.

Nonetheless, try this: http://www.file-drivers.com/download/modem_driver_for_tm_505_29313.html
(I know it says "modem" driver, but there are other drivers on the website.)
