How do you get the image size so large? I can only get a maximum size of
1023MB, so that is what I'm using right now. I'm guessing that this is
caused by 8.1 and PCSetup 1.6.4. At the moment, it is not much of a problem
because it only has a 1GB and a 4.3GB hard disk. I would like to get a
larger hard drive for it, funds permitting.
I finally got off of my best intentions and installed Diablo on Windows 95C.
So far, so good. It seemd to stutter a bit in cycles, but it's loads faster
than on Virtual PC on the 9500/200. :>
Before I went to 8.1 on the 8500, I had 8.6.1 on it. After trying PCSetup
2.1.7 on it, I was having all sorts of strange problems with it. Of course,
this was also before finding the 64MB DIMM too.....
