Wasn't thinking of 95 (and haven't in years. <g>) I've seen statements saying flat out they do *not* run Linux, NT, or OS/2. (Which is too bad, I wanted to get OS/2 going on the 640.) It's something about how they access the disk and/or memory, I don't recall the details. (Given how the 9x family is so scabbed on top of the win3.1/dos setup...) Anyway, for whoever said it sounded like more of a novelty - it depends. If you have a PC, yeah, it is (unless the PC is so new it won't run DOS stuff well, part of why I'm eventually going to back up the HD, reformat, and give it a DOS drive again.) If you have(had) a Mac and just needed to run, say, WordPerfect for DOS, early WinWord, etc, it made more sense to get a cheap card to add to the Mac than get another machine altogether. -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
