You're gonna hear this a lot: One visible primary partition per drive
is visible (I told you so!). As for the printer, it will work as Epson
Generic 9-pin, Epson MX80 9-pin, Epson Generic pass-thru, or even the
IBM NULL printer.

Sounds like your in business - despite what Unleashed says about the
BIOS.  You'll have to select the right driver for your brand of inport
mouse in all likelihood.  6 meg will be slow, tortuously so with
networking installed.
