How to obtain Windows 98SE drivers for an Optiplex GX270

Question

Hi,

I understand GX270 mini-tower works best with 2000 or XP but we have a school lab that uses Windows 98SE. Neither the resource CD or premiersupport.dell.com have Chipset drivers, NIC drivers, video drivers, or audio drivers. The NIC, video, and audio are all integrated devices not separate board. I have gotten some of them to work by using drivers from Intel.com but would love to know if there are Dell drivers or what are the best sources for drivers for a GX270.

Thanks

About all you can do is keep looking for third party drivers for the devices in this system for Windows 98 as this is not a supported version of windows on this Dell system.

Many of the drivers from INTEL's site for the D865G motherboard work with the 270
