IBM Thinkpad 390E Hardware List

I recently became the third owner of a IBM Thinkpad 390E. The laptop came with virtually no documentation, and with a Linux OS system installed. I want to switch over to Window98, but I'm not sure what hardware is installed and would like to know that in advance so that I can configure the drivers properly. I see IBM has a list of driver files for the installed modem, video display adapter, audio card and such, but no mention of the actual hardware itself. I have to believe that the drivers for most of this hardware is already included on the Window98 installation disk.

Can anyone give me a quickie list of the standard hardware that came installed with this model of laptop so that I can just configure from the installation disk and save a step.

Thanks

If you go to the IBM support site and enter your system number (found on a sticker on the laptop) you will get a list of devices and drivers for them.

I can't think of any reason or other special circumstances that would cause me not to accept the suggested answer from maqarity. It just makes good sense and with no smoke or mirrors.

I'll go this route.

Thanks
