A friend of mine recently bought 2 old computers, and wanted to get on the internet. The computers didn't come with modems, so I scrounged and found 2 modems that I no longer needed. I couldn't find driver disks for them, though. I also don't know exactly what OS is on the computers. So I'd really, really be appreciative if anyone could pass along one or more of the following:

Default PCI 56k Modem Driver (WinME/Win2k)
Default ISA 56k Modem Driver (WinME/Win2k)
Default CD-ROM Driver (Win98/WinME/Win2k)

If anyone is wondering about the last one, I need it because I have a Win98 CD of my own lying around somewhere. I doubt the computers have the drivers for a CD-ROM drive on there, so to get the modem drivers off the CD I'd need to install those also.

Thanks in advance.

Well, if you know what company made the modem, you could probably get the drivers right off their website and put them on a floppy for your friend.

Anyway, here's a generic Win 98 CD-ROM driver:

I have no idea about one of the modems, and the other company doesn't offer drivers over the internet. Thank you very much for the CD-ROM link.

So then you know the manufacturer for one of the modems?

http://www.driverzone.com/modem.html

If you can't find it somewhere in there, it probably doesn't exist.

Wow, I'm such a fucking idiot. I knew of that website that you posted, but until I read your post, I forgot that I still had the modem box. I thought that I gave it to my friend, thus making it unavailable. (I can't contact him before the drivers need to get on the computers)
[edit]

Ugh, DriverZone doesn't have drivers, just a link to Best Data's site, Best Data being the manufacurer of the modem. Best Data doesn't have any drivers on their site that I can find, though they are referenced in the "updates" section. I also can't find the correct drivers at any other free drivers site.

Try identifying the chips on the modem.

The modems are not in my possession at the moment, unfortunatly.
