[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 1013008, member: 199791"] Probably, not sure whether you'd get USB2.0 working or not though, but USB1.1 would at least work... :) As for the OS, well, the DOS-based Windows versions would run on anything, you could install 98SE on an Pentium 75 and fire it up on that K6-2 without issue, that's one of the things I miss with Windows, being able to keep OS installs without having to go through the faff of slipstreaming in drivers to make it boot up (did that with my gaming PC to save reinstalling after going from a Core2Duo to an AMD FX-8320e), but that said ISOs for 95 and 98SE are plentiful, and their keys are easy enough to come by as M$ don't really care about those OSes now... :) [/QUOTE]
