'95 sucks a high, hard one.

Explorer has caused a General Protection Fault at (mumble) in kernel32.dll... I have FreeBSD 2.1.0 installed on my second machine, but it's not usable until I can come up with some cash for more RAM. I know, I know, RAM's cheap these days, but I want a pair of 16x36s when I next purchase. Anyway, my primary machine would be wonderful for FreeBSD and I have no objections to running two Unix boxes, but it's stuck with '95 unless and until I can use my HP ScanJet 4c and my DeskJet 660C without loss of functionality. I'm no coder or I'd build my own drivers and utilities. Has someone done the hard work already? I'd even pay money. I don't want to dual-boot, as hard drive space would be scarce with all the bloated Windows crap I have on it (<200MB free on a 1.0G drive) and I don't want to purchase a new drive until I've made the switch to SCSI. Help! <gurgle> Thanks, Troy Smith
