"LIE" ?? It WAS truth and it IS truth. Last time I checked I was unable
to swap my 3" and 5" or HDD drives with GRUB and make such changes visible
in REAL OS like Linux or NT. And Windows9X works in such situation via BIOS
thus SIGNIFICALLY slowing down everything. Is IT called "clean way to swap
drives" ? Gosh. With BIOS I can swap floppy drives or IDE drives (if BIOS
supposrts it, of course) and ALL OS'es will see it just fine and Windows9X
WILL NOT use "virus compatibility mode". And that's what I said - there are
NO clean way to swap drives in GRUB (note "except for DOS" part in cited
text: yes, I know about "map" command and no, it's not what you need for
Windows 9X).

Done. Nothing new and/or exciting. The same old "map" again. Nothing new.

Hmm. Perhaps I've read it not carefully enough but I was unable to find
way to swap drives WITHOUT adding additional int13 handler (read: works
with real OS) and without screwing Windows9X. Am I missed something ?
