About this page
This page is a collection of links for resources that we might find useful as Tech Support Personnel. The descriptions are usually pasted from the linked site. This page started simply as a handy place to find links for drivers. I added the references because I found I was using some of them regularly. Then I found the sites for parts and thought they best fit in here too... Plus I keep adding more as I find them. If you have a link for tech support or reference that you use a lot and would like to share/add it to this collection, please send an email to me at: kiter6@nwlink.com. "All contributions are gratefully accepted!" As always, I am not responsible (does that mean I'm irresponsible?) for the sites linked here. They are merely for (my/our) research and convenience.
