I use a PPro 200, Intel sys I/O board, 64 MB RAM, S3 Trio video board w/
2 MB, a Motorola Bitsurfer 288 modem, Wehrends (sp?) 24 x CD ROM (IDE),
NEC Silentwriter Superscript 660 laser printer, and an HP 4p Scanjet
scanner with its SCSI card.  I currently use Win 95.

I would like to set up a dual boot sys. & eventually, if possible, just
trash & throw out Win 9x.

I have deleted partitions, now having a 1.29 GB HDD for install, clear &
free.  The other HDD is a 5.1 GB Western Digital (Both HDD's are WD.).

Questions:  Does anyone know anything about my scanner & its card,
printer, and other peripherals listed?  If so, can you offer any helpful
input?  I'm very comfortable hardware-wise, working around in the
system.  I get a little shaky when it comes to "tweaking" an OS.

Any help or pointers would be GREATLY appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Kindest Regards,
Jeff Rogers
