After much pain and anguish hunting down drivers all morning I finally got Windows 98SE running with all drivers! Woohoo!
Dell Latitude D505
Processor: Pentium M 1.6Ghz
Ram: 512MB DDR
Video: Intel Extreme Graphics 2 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics
Modem: 56k
Network: Intel Pro/100
Broadcom 802.11 MultiBand
Sound: Sigmatel C-Major Audio
The disk controller, USB, Wireless, modem drivers were a bitch to find/setup.
Disk controller was conflicting with another resource so I had to reassign resources. (Any length disk process would hang the USB mouse until I fixed this, highly annoying)
On D505 when you look in Device Manager there may be an exclamation mark on the IDE controller. If so it's because the I/O address BFA0-BFAF is conflicting with the DMA controller. Change the address to FFF0-FFFF and it should work fine.
Don't forget to enable DMA on your HD/CDROM in "CDROM" and "Disk Drives".
One of the USB ports wouldn't work so I had to hunt around and look for similar USB chipsets. I found a desktop USB driver and installed it.
Had to go digging around Conexants site for the Modem driver and install it manually.
Finally wireless was a real mess. HP stopped providing Windows 9x drivers for the Broadcom wireless so I downloaded BroadCom drivers from gigaflex for their PCMCIA wireless cards. Unfortunately it would install but the driver would not work. So I found another .sys driver from WildPacket (that they got from BroadCom) stuff it into the gigaflex folder and install it! I now have wireless! Too bad it doesn't support WPA.
So I now have a laptop that I can test 9x games on and is fully support in all of it's hardware! Now I need to work on the D510....
