If MS adds the driver to service pack, the winXP setup CD can be updated.

Yes, you will be able to create a slipstreamed cd containing the new service
pack. However, I haven't seen anything to suggest that a Service Pack 3 is
even in the works. I hope you work this out.

For the life of me, I don't know why the new machines don't have a floppy.
They don't hurt anything and they can sure help. The cost is almost
trivial.

Yes, you will be able to create a slipstreamed cd containing the new service
pack. However, I haven't seen anything to suggest that a Service Pack 3 is
even in the works. I hope you work this out.

For the life of me, I don't know why the new machines don't have a floppy.
They don't hurt anything and they can sure help. The cost is almost
trivial.

If MS adds the driver to service pack, the winXP setup CD can be updated.
