Default Please Help! In search of a Packard Bell Master CD# 170210

Hello all,

It seems that related posts from others in search of this CD have come
up here a handful of times over the years. I'm trying to restore my
vintage Packard Bell machine (PB Pro 65CD Supreme) to it's former
glory but am missing the original Master Restore CD ...#170210. I
still have the original 3.5" floppy to boot the restore from, but lost
the Master CD many years ago and didn't consider that I would ever
need it again ...I obviously underestimated the sentimental attachment
I had to this machine. Any help (copy or original for sale?) would be
greatly appreciated.

Regards

That's just the thing, I still have some Windows 3.1 floppy disks but
what I'm really after is PB Navigator and all the other 'stuff' that
originally came pre-installed.

Hello

I have flipped through all of my Packard Bell Master Restore CD's, ( almost
70 of them ), and didn't find that number.

What CPU do you have ? Is this an old 486, or Pentium ?

Yep, hard to believe I know. I bought a collection many years ago off of
eBay, and had a lot prior to that.
Let me check my box of CD's, and I'll get back to you. It would be helpful
if you knew exactly which CD you were looking for.

Found five CD's that are older than 1995, the newest file on these CD's is
1994.

They all have Win 3.1 or 3.11, and of course various other Packard Bell
restore files.

I *DO* not know if these CD's are specifically for a 486, or what specific
machine these CD's are
for exactly.

I lost use of fine motor skills in my hands due to an accident
I do have a copy of 170210 or somehing damm close as all the cd in
this series
for win311 are basically identical.
The 170210 had 3 revisions
I can send you a copy
I am 99.99% sure it is the 170210
The CD year is 1994 and is from a legend 10cd
Just a copy as the opriginal sw is gone
