I have two old 486DX100 laptops with 16 meg ram I have running
Win 98.
I have a Compaq Armada 1750 PIII 600mhz with 256mb running WinME
lite.
I have a Toshiba 3110 PII 300mhz with 64 meg running WinME lite.
The only real advantage I find to ME lite is the drivers for usb
drives are built in.
I have an old something I can't even remember Pnothing 133mhz
with I don't recall how much ram running Win 98.
All of them run dos quite well. I run dos on my Dell Dimension
4400 P4 1800Ghz 1.5gig ram XP SP3 Pro.
I am doing this entry on it, using Silver Xpress dos version. Do
my up/downloads on it using Wildcat navigator.
Hell, never even learned to use a spread sheet until a few year
ago, would write a dos program for any complicated calculations.
Oh, and after I do the calcs on my spreadsheet, I still use a
dos program to make graphs from them.
Oh, and I have rom dos and DRDos. Rom dos has PCMCIA drivers, at
least one version I have does, and I believe DrDos does also.
