Hi everyone! This is my first post on this website, so if this is in the wrong section then tell me : )

So I recently bought myself a lovely DOS/WIN95 NEC Versa 6030H. The only problem with this is that it doesn’t have any drivers installed. I’ve looked all over the internet for them, and they just don’t seem to exist any more. Does anyone have any help? I am very frustrated at not being able to use this beautiful laptop properly.

Found this. Chips & Technologies VGA driver.

And in this YouTube video it's showing a Creative Sound Blaster compatible sound card. Maybe a Vibra?

i386 16 ⇒ i486 DX4 100 ⇒ Pentium MMX 200 ⇒ Athlon Pluto 700 ⇒ AthlonXP 1700+ ⇒ Opteron 165 ⇒ Dual Opteron 856

The entire NEC FTP is at Archive.org - that's where I got all my Versa E/V/M/P drives from. It's 6GB though. - https://archive.org/details/ftp.necam.com

If I have time later tonight maybe I'll see if I can post the drivers for that laptop on here. I have the archive on my main Linux box AND stored away on at least 2 of the four NEC Versa laptops I have (because it REQUIRES an NEC computer to write the floppy disks for some crazy reason, at least for the earlier machines).
