In replying to this messages I want to thank all of you who responded to my OT question. I'm using msdos-6.22 therefore fat32 is a no go (it was supported as of dos7). At the moment I have a 1.4Gb drive in the machine which works ;-) (2gb limit) I'll replace it with a 10Gb drive : 2Gb for dos and 8Gb for win98. It should run all the kid will need on his old P.I-166. I lost quite some hours today in replaying some old games I used to play a lot years ago. Kyrandia i.e. has some music that used to hypnotise me. Never did again until today. I found one of those old original soundblaster-16 isa cards. Boy o boy, it was like everything came back.. I *never* understood why those modern soundcards are NOT able to imitate that old soundblaster-16 isa-sound. They don't even come close. The sb16 sound is unique and only the real thing brought back quite some memories. What a sound. -- dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.11-stable ++ FreeBSD 5.4 + Nai tiruvantel ar vayuvantel i Valar tielyanna nu vilja
