Apricot were bought by Mitsubishi Electric donkeys ago, but they're defunct AFAIK. It's been years since I've had dealings with Apricots, but try these

LOL

Unless is really ancient, it'll probably have a 3Com NIC (like a 3c509) and Cirrus Logic onboard video.

LS340 Range
LS550 Range

Don't know the model. It has a model number on the back which is LG86277-0. It must be old but I do not know how old because it is only pentium 1

Had the lid off and found out that the card has an intel board but it doesn't tell you any more than that

Thanks

Can't remember the site but each NIC has an indevidual FCC ID. Therefore, you can copy that off the NIC, GO HERE & enter the number - hey presto make/model of your NIC. Easy then to find drivers.

MicroHouse's Support Source is the other place to go for such info - or someone with the CDs

Works for graphics cards as well

Sadly that didn't work all it could tell me was that it is an Intel card. I have now cured the problem [fingers crossed ] by installing a network card we had laying around in a cupboard at work Thanks for your help
