[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 1016482, member: 325666"] 2 things to report today .. Terry was very helpful in securing the IDE switch ...which wasn't expensive ..and with a reduction too ..because the vendor had lost the power leads .. Now comes the painful bit .. UPS have seriously upped the greedy grabbing attitude to posting to the UK .. This is not a big parcel ..nor a heavy parcel ..but they still wanted ...over 70$ to ship it .. so beware anyone getting something from the US .. I wanted it ..so I pay the price.. Just got to suck it up.. Thanks again Terry great guy and very helpful ...even if he is from another galaxy .. :D On a less painful note .. I now have WIN95 running on a mobo fitted with 1.5gb ram.. This is how .. Install with a max 512mb stick only .. Either enter and mod the system .ini file in dos .. or take the easy route as I did .. Pull the drive on completion ..slave it to another PC .. find the system .ini file open it .. locate the chunk that begins [386Enh] add this line to that section MaxPhysPage=30000 save .. reinstall the drive in the legacy PC .. fit more Ram ..and power up.. This will limit Win95 OS access to physical ram to 768 MB Also will work on 98 ..98SE and ME I read.. [/QUOTE]
