    Legacy Drivers

    Upgrading Legacy Devices




    Hello Everyone:

    I would like to know the easiest fastest way to copy legacy device drivers to a floppy? If you are upgrading an OS, and the current modem (Or any other board) is not plug and play compatible. You will need to reinstall them (The Legacy Drivers) after the OS has been upgraded?

    Any Ideas?

    Thanks

    Re: Legacy Drivers

    I would recommend downloading the drivers from the manufacturers of the devices before you upgrade, as you may need more than you "find" on your computer.

    If you don't know where to find the drivers you need, a site like www.windrivers.com may help
