Nope, Windows NT/9X runs fine :-(. I had this problem with a lot of Compaqs
(actualy all of the "new-model" EN en EP's that I have.) Note however: I bought
my last Compaq somewhere around June I think, so perhaps it has been solved
in newer models.
Note2: that Compaq I installed last week (running kernel 2.2.13) still runs fine
so I guess that solves it too.

My users started complaining that there are no old systems available anymore.
We used to sell the old systems, however now I'm turning all of them into servers
running Debian >-)
