There should still be drivers for that laptop on Toshiba's web site. I downloaded video drivers for an older 440 Satillite running Win95 a couple of weeks ago.

That laptop runs XP like a champ. You may want to get an XP Home upgrade and just install that -- beats the hell out of 98 or Me. You will probably also want to get a 128MB or 256 MB RAM stick from crucial.com and pop that in if you go the XP route. If you don't feel like buying the RAM, you can buy a copy of Windows 2000 off of eBay and download the drivers from Toshiba's site. Either way I think you will be much happier than you would be with 98 or Me.
