In an office move, my prortable system restoration disk was lost, I need the drivers for my, 3com mini PCI V90 modem 10/100 ethernet combo card. for my Gateway Solo 2150. Windows 98. I contacted Gateway, 3com and Mundo no luck. so disk or driver would be great, thanks.

    Try looking on US Robotic's site. (I know, strange, but USR made modem\Ethernet combos FOR 3COM for while-- and they have kept older drivers around longer historically, unless you can access 3COM's FTP server directly and browse it, because frequently the FTP server still has it, but the website no longer has LINKS to the driver files for older stuff). After XP came out (2002, 2003 in first half), USR still had links for older OS drivers for things sold as 3COM brand as well as things actually USR that were supported in 98, but recently the links beyond ME going older started to vaorize. BTW, a ME driver often will work on 98 SE, and sometimes work on 98 for what you have specifically (NOT at all always for anything USB, but for PCMCIA and mini-PCI embedded modem\ethernet cards, YES). USR has also used 3COM chips in what IT actually mfrs.

    No particular promises for that exact thing, though, NOW. (I'd have to have chip model numbers or device model number as originally mfr'd or FCC code and trace those back and then crawl FTP servers to tell for sure.) But, worth a look at U.S. Robotics' support subarea to start with, then a browse of the USR server, or a call to secondary or engineering level support at USR. Check and make sure your PCMCIA drivers are ALSO installed, some of the older combo's like that needed them also, even if embedded, on laptops.
