Actually, that issue helps explain why I've got 5-6 machines running here at the moment; too much of my stuff needs to be checked for it's behavior under Win98, a couple flavors of NT, a couple flavors of Win2K, and I can't bring myslf to trying to find compatible hardware that would run on all the different OS versions - NT Server Enterprise is far from a fan of my card of choice for Win98 installation...and Win2K really dislikes the MS Natural keyboard knockoff I run on most of my other machines.
