New poster to this site, i have been trying to find drivers for a Portege 7200, but the dynabook site lost the drivers a while back. Does anybody have a source for the drivers on this laptop for 98se?

Windows 98 drivers should work in Windows98SE?

Problem is all the download links are dead links.
ic. I only searched the display driver, web archive has it https://web.archive.org/web/20220000000000*/h … ds/p722vid9.exe
May need to search it one by one, unless someone knows another site has backup.
Thank you, i was having issues with the webarchive last night, wasn't wanting to load up 2022, i got all the drivers and have a very happy 98se install now.
there should be out there somewhere if not just post the specs and we will help.
Problem is solved, archive.org had them, just was getting late night frustrated while trying to solve it.

can you send the link for the drivers im looking for that
I've been pulling things out of the internet archive from the Toshiba.ca website that had indexes, but have no hosting currently. I noticed that some of the really old models have been disappearing from the dynabook support site, like the Libretto 100CT, and those that do still have pages often have dead links to files.
You can use the support.dynabook.com page for file indexes and then get the files from archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://content … t/downloads/p7*
Notice that I've put /p7* at the end to only see files starting with p7, otherwise they can't be found since there's over 10,000 items.
Change "/p7*" to whatever is needed, like "/t810e*" to find files starting with that text.
Here's a picture of the index I have for the P7200 series - you can use the filenames to get them from archive.org pretty easily and most should be there:

Toshiba sold their laptop division back in Aug 2020:

Not sure how long the support.dynabook.com site will remain live 🙁
Hopefully someone has archived all the drivers
Here's the same for the Portege 7020CT:
Any files that you can't get from the archive, say which and I should be able to share those.

Toshiba are still alive and well in Japan but they no longer sell laptops. They sold off the laptop division and that laptop division is now owned by Sharp electronics I believe - with the sale they changed their name to the japanese brand "Dynabook" that they were using for their DOS-V notebooks. They've already moved everything computer related to www.dynabook.com so the support.dynabook.com site should be around for a long time yet.
It seems that they're doing something similar to what Sony did for older computers though, the Libretto files already can't be found from what I can tell.
You've also noticed that most files show up in the search for each laptop model but the files often don't work, that part is new.

THANK YOU!!! I've been at a loss with dead links trying to find so many Toshiba drivers and this link works with every one I've tried so far!

Hey, is there any chance you could send me the drivers for the 7020CT for Windows 98? I'm trying to create a recovery CD for it (using the 7140CT as a base).
