See if it uses 30pin or 72pin RAM. That shouldn't make too much difference. Many of those also had 64-128K cache onboard too. The main problems would be finding a suitable ISA videocard and SCSI controller. I don't have any such parts anymore. What web browsers would be suitable for the testing? IE 5.5SP2 will run on Win95B on the 386 but 68k IE stops at 5.0. Netscape 4.79 would run on the PC but for 68k Mac it stops at 4.08. Could stay away from the big names and stick with Opera, Eudora etc. What year was 7.5.5 released? Win95B came along in 1996. Could use Win95 plus the service pack to make it Win95a along with the Y2K update. Then both systems would be quite "patchy". ;) ===== http://www.junkscience.com "All the Junk that's fit to Debunk!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
