OMFG, that would be so cool, but I'm keeping this as bare bones as it gets . . . on the Win98 dinosaur. [}:)] ]'>

I just swapped the CD-ROM from the AtomicNetBot™ (it's in that big Honking Mid-Tower under the desk, which is just an awful thing to happen to a cute lil' Atom NetTop Board) with the DVD from Ankylosaurus because I have no idea what a PIII would be doing with a DVD-ROM, though both were in the case with the neat Optical Media Storage draw in between. This is definitely the case from which the PIII board waspulled, I used to call it Dimetrodon, but that doesn't fit, that critter is so ancient it's not even a dinosaur. It has the PIII sticker right next to the WinXP sticker. [:)] ]'>

Gotta love it, the PIII box now has the has the best board I have aside from the AMD VISION in HP_Maxi, it has all the modern bells and whistles for I/O and I just slapped an IDE Card in there to run the desktop DVD and a Zip250, go figure!

It's starting to look like one of my hacks though wires hanging off the front and back, looping around and back in and the craziest I/O setup yet. [:D] ]'>

Gotta fire 'em both back up to see what I've borken, but I think that can wait for tomorrow, maybe it's time for some pocorn & a movie!
