Device drivers!
The thing only has a USB port and a PS2 keyboard port.
Most of my USB devices wont work back to Win95.
If it had a serial port, I'd be OK with it.
I have hopes to use it for some data acquisition.
And storing digital photos.
I might be happy with Win95/98, bit I am hoping to get it running
Windows2000.
I just got the thing off eBay and I havent got around to taking it apart
yet.
It really is a pretty cool little toy, and it only set me back about $80.
I'll probably put in a HD with the Win98 and Win2k Cab files on it and see
what I can get.
I figure I will probably wind up with linux, though.
I just havent used linux in about 3 years.
Linux always was my favorite when I has the time.
I have a feeling that all the device drivers I need will be floating around
the LINUX community.
P.S. You have one of the best email addresses I've come across.
Thanks for the comments.
