[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 1014999, member: 325666"] Nothing really new to report as yet ..other than I fried The primary IDE port master .. Stupid stupid ...stupid .. But the secondary Master ,Secondary slave ..and Primary Slave are still good ..so Can still boot all the OS ok I'll keep watching fleabay in case a used Jetway suitable mobo turns up.. In the meantime .. I can now report pullout working OS for win 3.1 Win95 B .. I even got 95 to install a universal serial bus root hub driver .. but still cant recognise a usb stick .. Still working on it .. But at least I can access google on it with reasonable display .. IE 5.5 32 bit truecolour 1152 x 864 display.. ..and I have network access with the 3com 905 ISA card.. Win98SE 2000 (sp4) and XP home and Pro .. The latter 3 OS went in no problems ..but then ..better support for plug n play makes a helluva lot of difference.. So .. why am I doing this .. same answer as .. why climb a mountain.. cos its there ..and cos I can.. ;) Just spotted this on fleabay in the states ..

And those do a fraction of what Chameleon can do .. :D [/QUOTE]
