I have an old ThinkPad 600 that is also 300MHz. I upgraded it to Win2k, but
it runs a bit sluggish. I had thought of going to WinME, but I was never
able to find an disk at a good price.
 



Possibly the only person to say something good about WinME, I liked it. 
It barely runs on 64mb, boost it to 256mb and you notice the difference, 
I guess you'd still find it sluggish? A clean install does wonders 
compared to a upgrade. This machines was updated from ME to XP has been 
a enjoyable experience. Surprisingly.



I run DOS on my Orange PC card, but it would be interesting to know if the
hacks mentioned here would work for adding more umph to the old DOS cards
that seem limited to Win98.



Has anyone tried Windows Lite (um I have the name wrong 
http://www.litepc.com/  ) on either the dos card or emulator?
Wonderful thing about a emulator, you can always add and remove drives 
without taking the case apart. :)

That leads to a more stable system because you no

USB device you use. (Things like scanners, printers,
speakers and anything that's NOT like a "disk drive"

Excellent. Thanks


But wait, there's more! Even more clever people have
figured out how to "transplant" over 600 system files
from Win ME and Win XP SP2 into 98SE. Why? To make it
faster and more stable, assimilating the better bits
of later versions without adding the not so good
"features". You'll need a Windows ME CD-ROM and
download the Windows XP Service Pack 2
"redistributable" or "stand alone" installer. It's
huge, but handy to have on a CD-R for any XP box you
encounter that hasn't been updated. (Especially if it
only has a dialup connection!)
 



Hmmm, not sold on SP2. Already have the stand alone. :)


I'm going to try all that on my PII 300Mhz laptop that
only has a 6.4G hard drive and 128meg RAM.



If only other OSes could be so hackable... My P3 600mhz laptop runs 
a 4.8G drive and XP Home. A spare laptop harddrive, anyone? ;)

Figure I can use the old drive in the amiga.

Flash cards

[Darren]

Simple question.
Do flash cards work under 98SE?

We have one that works fine under the Classic OS and OSX and XP...
Someone has asked me why the flash card at work doesn't show up at home 
under 98SE, I suggested it may have been formatted with NTFS as such 98 
wouldn't see it, guessing it to be a windows default but I dont use the 
things so dont really know.


Thanks
