Hello Wayne - 

CA>>> I checked using "264VT ATI video driver windows" with
CA>>> Google and came up with this URL for drivers: 

WC>> Dang, I didn't hang in long enough at google. Thank you
WC>> very much for your efforts on my behalf. Saved for looksee
WC>> later today. 

CA>> No problems, others have done the same for me. :-) 

WC> Doesn't work, seems the installation software looks for
WC> Asus components. I could try hacking the software in but
WC> why bother when I've the 32 bit Win 95 driver already at
WC> hand? 

No way to just remove the video drivers? Why bother? I guess to
give W31 the opportunity to display video? 

WC> As the Win 95 OEM CD is happy with current CD drive I'll go
WC> that way. Only hope the release I've got doesn't hang me up
WC> with a bunch of Netscape browser compatibility issues I
WC> used to hear so much about. 

Alan Zisman would know the answer to that question. 

WC> Quick question. My board and BIOS support 4 EIDE drives 2
WC> masters with one slave each. Should upon adding a second
WC> hard drive I move the CD-ROM from second master to slave
WC> putting the slower hard drive as master am I correct in
WC> assuming that IRQ 15 is shared by slave and master and only
WC> the hexidecimal address on the CD driver in config.sys need
WC> be changed for the CD drive to be propperly recognised? 

Quick answer. I have no idea. I've maintained very vanilla
simple hardware for many years. I don't enjoy being told my
hardware is too old when I need to replace a cable, wire, clip,
or whatever so I just tend to leave it alone and not risk doing
any damage. 

AFAIK Windows will decide what IRQ is used where etc. I've not
really been paying attention to that information over the years. 

WC> My intent is to keep Win 3.1 on the smaller and slower
WC> drive on the second IDE channel as master, slave the CD
WC> drive to that and put Win 95 and Linux on the new big drive
WC> on first IDE channel. Does this sound like a plan? 

Well ... if I was going to multi-boot several OS, and if I had
a way to make backups of all of that, yes I guess your
arrangement makes sense? 

Alan Zisman mentioned recently that he was having problems with
MultiMail. He _later_ happened to mention he is using an iMAC
with a PC emulator program that executes W98SE which loads and
executes MultiMail within a dosbox (which is a W98SE
emulation). I wonder what could be causing his MM problems? :-) 

I'm guessing given enough time and money this is where you are
headed. LOL 

This brings back memories of oldtimers who repeatedly warned me
that I was in danger of becoming "Jack of all trades, master of
none". I am a master mechanic (journeyman patternmaker) so I
fooled 'em!
