John, Let me be the first to congratulate you on a fine procedure and excellent work in doing this! I now have my websurfer proo running without a hard drive! Next project will be PCMCIA for wireless support, then USB ethernet plugged ( I know this works already).
Suggestion: On your dos boot, create an autoexec.bat that contains simply '@echo off' so it doesn't ask you for the date/time each time you boot. I had to go about it a bit differnetly since I didn't have a floppy drive, but the same basic steps worked for me. --Pat On Sun, 27 Jan 2002, John Mullan wrote: > Patrick (and all): > > I have created a page to help you on your quest.
