T21 Recovery CD's needed

Picked up a nice T21 over the weekend. It has the Windows 2000 Pro COA sticker on the bottom but no recovery CD's.
Anyone have a copied set they wish to sell?
Thanks

I have Win98 Recovery CD's for 600's and 770's and I can tell you that, except for having the IBM Wallpaper and logos on the System frame, I was much better off using a real Windows CD and d/l'ing the drivers and files I needed. And really, as far as the wallpaper goes, you can d/l that too. If you have a flavor of Windows you aren't using in another computer, ..for the official MS-legal line
format and install that version, go to the IBM T21 drivers page
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... Entry.y=13
and d/l, install what you need. Will save you $$ and let you partition/format the drive as -you- want it, not what IBM thinks should be done.

skygodtj, what you say makes sense except for one thing;
Mediamatics DVD Express...
There's an update for the driver on the IBM site, but where do you get the driver?
