If you can't find the service tag# -- which would show up in system info if
you can do a restore from the hidden partition --
You can wend your way to any system in the download support section
(dell.com, at the bottom pick driver & d/ls under the support list) by
selecting "choose model" & so on. I got to the P-670 but didn't take it any
farther than that. (it also seemed to leave a cookie or something so the
next time I went to driver support it went back to the P-670 -- but it's
easy to choose another system... Such are the perils & adventures involved
in "I was just curious!")

Maybe what you want is on that list somewhere. Besides you might want to
check for any other updated drivers. You can also find manuals in there.
No guarantees it'll work, & I've never tried to d/l a driver for one
computer onto another for sneakering over. But anyways I hope that helps.
