@freezr Did you try this?

I'm guessing this a program that will pull the required drivers, but you need windows apparently. The drivers may exist on archive.org, but you'd need a full link where they were previously stored (acer changed the url syntax since), since the look-up for a specific machine does not work. ie:
https://web.archive.org/web/20130627133629/http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers
@freezr I had luck finding drivers through archive.org for old IMB machines, but without the url, it's a dead end.
This is as far as I got:
https://web.archive.org/web/20110411081755/http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/LX.PTV02.315
You would think there would be a link to the drivers' page, but there is not.
Similarly with the link from my previous toot:
https://web.archive.org/web/20111002085547/http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers
this doesn't work.
...
I tried looking through old forums, but nobody linked to this specific machine.
Theoretically, if you could find a url for a different machine from that time period, maybe you could guess the drivers' page for 1830T.
There are a bunch of spooky third-party websites which list direct downloads to what (allegedly) you're looking for, but... I wouldn't. If you want to consider those sources, let me know..
