>>Just as a side note...I just ran an old QB program that uses various ROM BIOS interrupts to determine what's on the system (DOS version, hard drives, mouse, numeric co-processor, etc.). With the exception of it not recognizing the floppy type (it's one of those newer high capacity types) and it not being able to properly calculate the free and total disk space, it seems to work fine.

What about Win9x? That's what I was doing this under.
