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.
