Anyone have > any suggestions? For DR-DOS, go to www.caldera.com/drdos. Now their priority is linux. And if you notice some of the features of DR-DOS are very similar to linux commands and features. Maybe there is some way to run Windows 9x under DR-DOS. Possibly even Win ME.. maybe not. Hmm... The computer froze?

BTW, does your keyboard go into USB too? I think the company that built your computer went a little USB crazy there. LoL. All you really need to do is replace your motherboard with another PC-66 model. Or, get a Gigabyte GA-7DX, a 1.2GHz Athlon, and 256MB DDR memory!! That'll give you the fastest non-server PC you can get! > > -------- > > Ross > MERRY CHRISTMAS! Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! Happy Kwanzaa! Happy Birthday!
