More fun: as a last hurrah for our faithful MP3000-H70, I fired that guest up and brought up WinNT under Bochs. It took 28 *minutes* to open (not do anything, just open) Notepad. Both MP3000 processors were pegged at 100% while doing this -- *nothing* else was running. I can conclusively state that Windows is not supportable in that environment for anything real. -- db PS -- RIP SNAVM5. Good night, sweet prince.
