Another way to dual boot that would be a lot easier than trying to graft Win98 onto a WinXP drive is to just use another drive for Win98. Even a 1GB drive would do. Most modern motherboards allow you to select which drive to boot from. If you do this, I would temporarily disconnect the WinXP drive while installing Win98, just to be safe. Once things are installed, the two drives will coexist just fine. In fact, without additional software, the Win98 drive will not even see the WinXP (NTFS) drive. If you need to be able to read the NTFS drive from Win98, let me know and I can provide some links. One other possibility, short of dual booting is to try VMware. The big question is whether VMware will work with your GPIB interface. If it is serial or USB, it just might. If you want to try this, the VMware Player is free. To create a virtual machine configuration, go to the following web site: http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml. Of course, the full version of VMware Workstation allows you to create virtual machines directly. I use VMware Workstation myself, but have never tried it with GPIB interfaces. Most serial and USB peripherals that I have tried do work. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
