  • Is there any way to identify an "Unknown unit" (Or something)?

I got my uncle's old laptop today (YAY), and I reformatted it upon opening it (It contained his four-year-old finnish Windows XP Home-without-any-service packs install, never even defragged and full of shitware, 7 minutes to boot ) and installed my swedish XP Pro SP2 and all the drivers I could find on the HP site (It's a HP Compaq nx7010). But, there are two units left without drivers. One being the 56k modem which I'm installing now, and the other one being, well, an unknown unit. Is there any way to find out what that unknown unit is? I'd like to have all drivers installed.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

anything missing?  like the ethernet card, IR port, any SD card readers, wireless card, audio devices, or the display adapter?  very often, laptops will also need mobo drivers, and may not be considered "required" on the hp website, only recommended, so you have to dig around...
