No drivers for XP?!

[Superman9534]

I just got a Diamond 10MB USB Phoneline network adapter. I plug it in and XP can't find drivers for it. the CD only has 98/ME drivers on it. I go to diamonds site to find out they no longer exist! How can I get this thing working in XP? Everything is supposed to work in XP!

google. And no "everything" doesn't work in XP, just most hardware from companies still in business.

Heh, rememberence from me of having a 3dfx Voodoo 4

yes I have done google searches, and found a site with XP drivers, but the link was for a file on the Diamond FTP which no longer works. So they EXIST but can't be found. (i KNOW they made them for 2000 which def should work w/ XP if I can find them). Also, I had a Voodoo3 for a while...yea that was a pain.

There are driver archive sites, but I don't have any bookmarked -- try googling on "driver archives" or similar.

Diamond went under around the time XP came out. You might be able to get a Win2K driver to work with it.


Windows 2000 drivers

The following are the most recent Windows 2000 drivers for the HomeFree Phoneline USB product.
Notes:
These drivers are only designed for installing HomeFree USB as a standard NIC.
Internet Sharing software is not included. Windows 2000 includes built-in Internet Sharing software.

I tiried force-installing the Win2K drivers for my Diamond USB phoneline adapter, but it just caused BSOD. I ended up having to buy a D-Link model off eBay for about $7, which there are still a lot of. That's the only way I could solve the problem after searching and searching for a driver.
