A couple of days ago, I dual booted to '95 : for the first time in a month and... it started saying things like : Detected new hardware: 101 keys PC keyboard : Detected new hardware: 387 Numeric coprocessor (I have an AMD 586!?!) : Detected new hardware: PC BIOS : Detected new hardware: PS/2 Mouse (I don't have anything like that) Mine thought my SCSI interface was a mouse when I booted win95 for the first time. I was as bit suprised. I wouldn't have mind the other way around, but this was ridiculus. I still have not got the SCSI card wroking properly, I have to go into system and select "update" on the driver to have it recognize the attached CD-ROM. This takes about 2 minutes when it is looking on the SCSI chain. My 3 SCSI harddrives are not found at all. So I run Linux on those. -- ________ /\nders
