Go out to Compaq's website.  They have manuals for most of their equipment and even have manuals for some of their older equipment.  If you don't have the "diagnostic" partition on the HD you will need to runn the setup program's off of floppy.  Again, they are at Compaq's websight (www.compaq.com).  Go to:
http://www.compaq.com/support/files/desktops/us/index.html 
where you can pick your Family (DeskPro 2000); Model and then Windows 98  Is this a Compaq Soundcard?  If so, thoses drivers would be there as well.  Good luck.

Hello

First thing. Thanks for the assistance on sorting my original Compaq
problem. I resolved it by shorting out the CMOS. I'm not sure how it worked
but it did :-) I could then proceed with the W98 installation with the mouse
and KB working!

Now I'm trying to fit an ISA souncard to the Compaq, the soundcard is a 'ESS
1868'. I've kinda sussed that I need configure the Compaq setup menu with
IRQ, DMA, I/O and memory, but I don't know what to put in there ... or maybe
I'm doing something wrong?

Please note that the Compaq is second hand and has no manuals with it. I am
unfamiliar with Compaqs but I learning fast.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

TIA ... Mick
