    The driver download site is an excellent idea.

    I can offer drivers for the 6024W (same as 6224W except for the GPU).

    We have the complete collection of drivers from the first models to the most recent ones.
    There has also been added a few Driver CD ISO's of the original drivers CD/DVD's for the people who'd want that :)

    But basically we wanted to make this download site, so the customers had a place to download the drivers even though Zepto is gone.

    I remember contributing a lot to the Zepto forum 2 years ago :( Testing, as the only person, new BIOS for 6625 etc. I've now made the switch to Acer. Unfortunately my GFX on the 6625WD, died on me 2 weeks after the warranty period ended, so I had to buy a new notebook...

    Zepto did have nice configurations for their notebooks, but the service was really bad... But as a danish citizen I feel bad for the bankruptcy, and for all the costumers with notebooks bought within the last 6 months

    Anyway... hope you guys will get it all sorted out

    Sorry to read this about Zepto - they gave me a free hard disk upgrade when I bought my 6324W ... which coincidentally is now about to go into retirement - I'll miss the sound of its jet engined fan and boiling base which kept me warm during many a winter night :eek:

    I do believe in karma, hence why a company treats me in a way as Zepto did, I merely look at the results of karma. You sir have the wrong end of the stick. :rolleyes:

    I have all the drivers for the previous 6214W and 6X14 series. If someone wants me to send it to them via email to put them up on an FTP.

    This is why I would never trust small outfits again. I was with now defunct pc maker Carrera SSC, and when they went under, all warranties became void, despite them selling the assets of the business to another pc maker at the time "Watford Electronics", which traded under the name Savastore. Which by now starting to get boring as that too went under (declared bankrupt) and was bought out by a private company Global Ltd. which was pretty much founded by the people that declared bankruptcy for Savastore. However now they had the assets of saverstore without the liabilities. It's twisted, but once you get burned by these small outfits, you learn quickly.

    Stick to the big guys is the lesson here.
