It's a big deal to me as I'ver got to micromanage my time to do
what I _can_. Thanks.
Since the run in with the Klez.H worm I've really organized
my reinstallation but HDA1 DOS root directory is really
a mess with stuff intended to be temporary as I play 
around withe Linux.

Kool, I'm getting really fond of these mini-Linux installs.
When I snag a big drive I see myself partitioning it 
to around ten partitions just to play around with various stuff
and releases.

I don't see myself moving from legacy hardware anytime soon
though I'll have to see how far I can push that Pentium.
Heck I _could_ just swap the A and C drive from this 486 machine
and have that one up today.

Thanks again. Need to snag that driver off your
site to run Win 3.1 on a > 528 drive as the BIOS
on my EideMax card predates the Pentiums BIOS so 
it doesn't take over and having no manual cannot
disable the onboard controller having not a clue 
which jumper it may be.
Wish I'd thought about this _before_ the A drive on that machine
expired.
