The LapLink Everywhere Deluxe Gold I bought in Feb. 2003 requires
a Win 98 or higher; suggesting possible 16-bit.

(I didn't receive my upgrade rebate before they filed for Chap.11 8-(

I got "PC Relocator" last week that promises Win 9x,ME,NT,2000 or
XP. Any ideas for also transferring my SuSE 9.0 linux partition that
shares my Win 98se on the same 40 gHz HD when I install my new 80 gHz
hard drive some rainy day ???

Ciao, Ack.
