I had a computer of the same vintage that we tried this on and didn't have success. I don't remember the particulars, but I remember a number of CF cards we tried failed very quickly. This was Windows 98 I think. We ended up having to use a little hard drive. Windows tends to thrash the drive a lot with the swap file use. -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
