At VCF Midwest 19 a couple weeks ago my friend had his Empac Blaster PC on display, and someone came up to us and said he had one in the past and might have a driver disc. Anyone with one of these knows the driver discs are unobtainium and certain functions of the inbuilt case parts do not work, namely the IR receiver for the remote control. These machines are slightly on the rare side of things and while nearly all the functionality can be had with drivers found on the internet, the driver disc is necessary to utilize the IR remote, which uses the same one as any Live! Drive, but the receiver embedded into the front panel does not work with conventional creative drivers and thus, the party trick is unusable without this disc. The other thing that needs this disc is the FM Tuner built into the board or case, we haven't figured out which. but, it's there, and needs this disc to function.

Needless to say, two weeks later, there was some email correspondence back and forth and now the driver disc exists on archive.org for anyone with one of these to grab.

I'm hoping that someone with access can upload this to vogonsdrivers as this ISO was basically unobtainium until this point. Hopefully this helps anyone out there in the world get one of these running again, after the usual recapping to the motherboard is done.

I'm also attaching to this post a re-creation of the logo on the front of the case for use for wallpapers etc as we needed something for the info placecard on top of the PC, hopefully this can find use for anyone that wants to do a youtube video on one of these in the future. I'm also attaching a patched BIOS file for the M003 motherboard that should allow for drives up to 128GB to be used on the IDE bus. This was NOT tested in time for VCFMW given we didn't want to brick the board by accident but from what I've read, it should work. If that ends up failing, The Retro Web has copies of the unmodified BIOS files if memory serves.
