Where to find older Catalyst drivers

Hi
I'm about do upgrade the very old video drivers on my Compaq X1000 and I can see from several posts here that 5.6 are the latest ones that will work. But where can I get cat 5.6 (including CCC)? The driver archive on the ATI website seems to have been discontinued...

Hello:

According to Internet resources, the Compaq X1000 uses an ATi Mobility 9200
You should be able to use up to Catalyst Version 6.5 ( Internal Version 8.252 Dated 05/24/2006)

However, you may need to update your system BIOS and your Video BIOS.

According to HP, for the Compaq x1000 series notebook
Newest system BIOS available is F.55
Newest ATi Mobility video BIOS is 1.17

However, you preform this BIOS updates under your own risk. Follow their instructions carefully. Update BIOS only with charged Battery and plugged in and running on AC adapter. DO not interrupt the update process.

Good luck, and take care.
