Speaking of minimum requirements, I have successfully installed Internet
Explorer 4.01 SP2 on my Gateway (386/8MB). The software requires a minimum
of a 486 or pentium processor with 16MB of RAM... Has anybody else had
experience with "false" minimum system requirements???
Also, the UltraPlayer that I mentioned in an earlier post (MP3's on 386 with
8MB or RAM!) requires a Pentium 90MHz with 32MB of RAM! It ran on my 386
without a flaw! (Even the WAV files, which were in excess of 40MB played
FINALLY without cutting out--Only because I disconnected the network...
On a Maxtor 8.4GB hard drive:
"LBA support needed..."
It worked on my 386, even FAT32 worked...But not for win95. I had to use
FAT16 for my old version of Win95...But it worked--and my A+ manual says
that 386's don't have LBA! But the MAXBLAST disk that came with the drive
said to use their EZ-BIOS, and IT worked!
I now have an 8.4GB hard drive on my 386! Maybe the system requirements
should list the REAL minimums??? Anybody have any idea why they are
"confusing" people with old machines???
