Hi again, Peter.
I have just installed XP on a 330mhz PII and it runs great.
I believe that machine comes with only 64MB ram, which is not enough
even for W98.... You should add at least 128MB, better 256MB (PC100 or PC133).
If you do not want to install XP you can use W98SE but you will have to
download
all the drivers for the 6630 from the HP site. Sometimes those modems'firmware
don't put up very well with XP... but nowadays you can buy a pctel based modem
for as low as 10 bucks... you can buy 256MB pc133 at zipzoomfly.com for as low
as 70 bucks..
That's what I should do, but it if you get the original CD and decide to
restore the
former system, increasing RAM amount a little be won't do any harm..
you have a great day
Jorge
