XP Pro drivers on Toshiba A215-S4767

Hi everyone, thanks for reading!

Before I begin, let me say I know that XP is not supported for this notebook, and that drivers don't exist. Downgrading for a friend from Vista, and so far I've been having some great luck. Only thing missing now is the Video and Audio drivers.

If anyone has done this before, or knows someone who has, then I'd be immensely thankful if you could post the links or PM me with the info.

Thanks for any and all ideas!!

Not really sure what thread this should go in, Notebooks, XP, or Video, if it needs to be moved please feel free.

Got quite a bit of help from this site, the audio worked for me.

Then found a wifi driver on notebookreview.com,

and got the southbridge from here but the video driver still isn't working.

I'll post later if I have any more updates, and i'll try to have all the link available in case anyone else wants to do something fool harty.

EDIT -- HOT DAMN!! Got the video working!!

I think that was the 4th one I tried, now just the Biometric Coprocessor has a yellow ? Other than that, I'm done. Maybe I should put all these drivers in one friendly zip file for later use?
