ZZzzzzoooooooooom!!!!!!!!!!!

Woah! I had a sh!tload of problems screwing around, but after I got them sorted out, this thing flies!!

Well first my floppy failed on me, and I took an hour to fix that... then my cdrom decides to not work properly.. I eventually manage to get into Windows (only takes 10s to boot '95!) and I find out it's using msdos compatibility mode!! argh!

I manage to get on the net with standard modem drivers.. my hd isn't really detected, there are exclamation marks everywhere in system properties... it was a mess.

I went to viatech.com and downloaded a few things, and installed them... I rebooted.. and magically, my cdrom started working! and I had udma! woohoo! well, after screwing around a little I decided to install '98... Man, everything is so much more responsive!! holy CRAP..

Gotta love Quantum LM's... and I can't imagine how fast it would be using ata/66... oh man

LOL

It brought that system back to life... seriously! Before, I would click a folder, and wait a few seconds before it opens!! Now everything is super-responsive..... ICQ opens in about 2 seconds, same with netscape and outlook... IE loads about instantly..... ahhh this is damn nice..

Too bad I'm not keeping it this way... I don't use this system too much, and I want my 20g, so I keep it in my p83 :(
