  This is indeed a very old thread, but AFAIR, you only needed a few
'missing' drivers. You know for which devices these were, so you could
look up the details of only those devices and get the driver files for
them.

  AFAIK, there are some 'driver extractor' programs which can extract
specific driver from an already installed/running system. I have no
experience with / pointers to those, as I never needed such a thing.

  Perhaps other can give you some pointers.
