Umm, couldn't you pull a 286 out of the trash to do that, and use the 600MHz PC for something a bit more worthy of all those MIPS? Don't know how big your DOS program is, but I'd be *shocked* if it wouldn't fit on a single floppy. Would then not need a HDD, CD-ROM drive, etc, etc... Is that PC running DOS inside a Linux dosemu window, or standalone DOS? -- +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ron Johnson, Jr. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Jefferson, LA USA http://members.cox.net/ron.l.johnson | | | | "Basically, I got on the plane with a bomb.
