Once more into the breach:

What is a "driver"?  A device driver is a software adapto-kit
which allows an operating system and a piece of hardware to work together.

BEFORE you purchase a piece of hardware, read the side of the box.
Make sure that **YOUR** OS and your **VERSION** are listed as SUPPORTED.

If you are planning to use an external drive to INSTALL Windoze,
it must have **DOS** device drivers available for it
or (USB) must have direct support in the BIOS.

Who produces these "device drivers"?
If you think about it just a moment, it's obvious who benefits most from that:
THE *MANUFACTURER* OF THE **DEVICE**.
(This is also the reason that SOME brands are PREFERRED.  Think: Linux; OS X)


As C K said, tweaking a CONFIG.SYS file to get DOS device drivers working
is something the novice rarely executes properly the first attempt.

If you can't even deduce where one might *find* the item,
it seems unlikely to me that you will be able to actually get this working.

...and as C K said, the fact that the hardware is old doesn't improve your odds.
