The only things I have that use non-linux are a few things for Win 3.1
(a Canadian Encyclopedia that I'll try accessing from linux), and a few
games, including Harpoon. However, at this point, I'm not worried about
it. I have a full dos/win setup on zip disk with a floppy boot that
works adequetly. Later, I'll see what the options are (dosmu?).
Once I migrate to a new backup medium to replace the zip (attached
either via eSATA or USB or Firewire), it will free up an IDE spot that
could be used for this too.
Thanks,
Doug.
