Dear Nick:
Hey, what a story! I have never heard of TRUE 486/386sx archy's
running PCI! Are you sure it's not a 4-channel IDE like a modern
BIOS? Very strange. Anyway, I've had my run-in's with Windoze
95 and old hardware too. I tried those procedures without much
success. It has to be done PRECISELY correct, I think, or it will
fail. Not an easy thing. I think Microsoft built-in procedures
and things into drivespace/doublespace/for dos and the Windoze
version to make it difficult to do what you suggest. Maybe not
impossible. We'll be waiting to see the results!
When my sister's old non-PCI computer crashed due to drivespace
I backed up all the Windoze data from the drivespace.000 file {40 MB!}
and tried to re-install the whole windows drive, but it failed. It
was missing one little file that was essential for the whole
Windoze operating system to work. I think it might have worked if
I had had some of these other files like drivespace.ini and etc.
saved to a special floppy BEFORE the crash, but I didn't have it
all. I think it's probably hard to rebuild the Win 95 registry
after a crash of Drivespace/Win.
Yours,
Thomas
