It's nice if you can get it working - IRQ juggling was ... let's just say it
wasn't easy. : )

I can't really compare the speed of 95 and NT, as I've got a coupla
machines; a P2-266 with NT, a 166 with 95, a 120 with 95 and a 486/sx 33
laptop running Windows 3.1. Haven't ever put 95 on the P2-266, nor NT on the
other machines.

All I know is the Pentium II is FAST. :) :)

Also, the STOP's are a pain. Whenever an app crashes badly, NT generates a
STOP; just what it sounds like, a STOP halts the operating system and forces
you to restart.

Never used 98. [shrug]
