OS/2 v4 Drivers
Hello - I have a Dell Dimension 2400n and was wondering if anyone knew where I could get native drivers for the network card (Broadcom 440) and the Sound card (SoundMax Integrated Digital audio). Do they even exist I wonder? Any pointers greatly appreciated.

Lots of luck considering OS2 is basically a dead OS. I guessing what ever the OS installs is all your going to get. Since the OS dates back to about 95 or so only hardware at about that time is supported.
If you really need to run this OS some of the Virtual PC software may emulate the hardware. The virutal PC software basicall allows you to HOST another OS in Windows. But to be usefull it needs to have a fair amount of memory on the HOST computer.

Agreed, but I am on a nostalgia kick right now trying to get this to work, So far, I got sound drivers, and a video driver that works as well. Very suprised...the only driver I need to find is for the Integrated Broadcom 440 Ethernet device so I can get connected.
I have the trial version of Microsoft's VPC and it works fantastically - I found another hard drive and wanted to see how it would install on the machine on it's own.

Has far as the hard drive I understand you can order a mounting bracket from Dell support. Not sure if you need another cable, or if the cable included with the system will work.
