I'd like to run        KW> Windows on it, and not have to deal with DOS-level PCMCIA        KW> drivers.               KW> Any suggestions?               I have two old 486DX100 laptops with 16 meg ram I have running        Win 98.               I have a Compaq Armada 1750 PIII 600mhz with 256mb running WinME        lite.               I have a Toshiba 3110 PII 300mhz with 64 meg running WinME lite.               The only real advantage I find to ME lite is the drivers for usb        drives are built in.               I have an old something I can't even remember Pnothing 133mhz        with I don't recall how much ram running Win 98.               All of them run dos quite well. I run dos on my Dell Dimension        4400 P4 1800Ghz 1.5gig ram XP SP3 Pro.               I am doing this entry on it, using Silver Xpress dos version. Do        my up/downloads on it using Wildcat navigator.               Hell, never even learned to use a spread sheet until a few year        ago, would write a dos program for any complicated calculations.               Oh, and after I do the calcs on my spreadsheet, I still use a        dos program to make graphs from them.               Oh, and I have rom dos and DRDos. Rom dos has PCMCIA drivers, at        least one version I have does, and I believe DrDos does also.                            BOB KLAHN bob.klahn@sev.org http://home.toltbbs.com/bobklahn              ...
