I've been to Compaq, but they don't carry recovery disks that old. I've googled and come across drivers for said model, but they don't work. I've bought a disk full of drivers from ebay, but being the 1230 is an odd duck, he didn't have the right driver that matched the chipset. Is there somewhere on the web that has the older recovery disks? Or a diagnostic that I can use to figure what chipset this unit is using? > >Pentium II >266 meg >128mb ram >windows 98 > > The NOSPIN Group is now offering Free PC Tech support at our newest website: http://freepctech.com
