}If I'm not going to be able to use E-mail for free with Juno, then
}apparently I will have to use NetZero, or choose some paid service. So
}far as I know, I can't get other services while running Win 3.1, so I
may
}need to get a hard drive with some other Windows version installed.
}
There are other services that will work on just 3.11, or even
DOS, with the correct software. Look for the ones that use a standard
"DUN" connection in windows 9x/me or NT/2000/?? systems. The info needed
is what would be needed to set up the 32bit "DUN" manually.
That said...
}So my question is this: how do I determine the compatibility of
}available hard drives with my Pentium-60? I believe I have something
}like 60MB. I wouldn't want to buy a 20GB drive and find out that it's
}not compatible.
}
ONLY 60 megs on a Pent class machine??? Even a slow one like
that!!! OK, first find out from your local geek if you are using SCSI or
IDE/EIDE for your current drive. I think SCSI drives are still more
expensive, but... Them you have another problem: Can you even find a new
drive under 60 Gigs? Even those are getting rare around here!
You just need a hardware geek to look inside your system, and
find what is supported. That geek can recommend components. But before
committing to a hugh drive on that system, have him price a mother
transplant too!
The problem with a system that slow is that a current version of
windows will outright crawl on it. A replacement mother with CPU and
lots of fast RAM is needed for MickySofts latest bloatware operating
systems!
