  Should, sure.  But, while the bios now detects it, dos doesn't.
I don't know if that's normal, but with no drives but A & C
assigned (& this was the case even back when I'd try this in the
old days -- maybe the bios wasn't written with that in mind, as
W95/98 didn't boot from cd at that time).  Once I get the driver
loaded, it will allow me to go to D: & run setup.
