Hi, I have a Deskpro EN with the Pentium III at 667 Mhz
Here are some pictures of it:

Now every time I start it up I get a "Unknown Device", I want to know where I would find the drivers for this to solve this.

I Don't think so. I accutally have 2, one has a no-name card and one has a ATI Rage Pro built in.

I use one of these for some daily office stuff including printing shipping labels. I also sometimes use it to run an old EPROM programmer.
They're very nicely designed machines. They're a great example of Compaq design right at the end of the company's life, before they were taken over by HP.
I've run into a weird BSOD problem on mine which consistently occurs when Firefox 5.0 visits some web sites. I found some discussion about it online where the Win2k OS and either Java or Flash (can't remember which) were called out as factors. I didn't see any resolution given, but I'm fairly convinced it's software and not hardware.
I've thought about upgrading the video to a passive 8400GS or a Radeon 9250 PCI which I have handy, but I'm not sure how well it would dissipate the heat.

Had one till 2010, threw it out just before getting back into old PC's 🙁
Good Machine, was going to make a media centre out of it (remember this was pre high definition days) as its small enough to sit near a TV out the way

Mine broke mysteriously, blame the PSU. Was nice while it lasted. Had built-in speakers and a ESS1868 (iirc)!
