I'm sitting here with a new Logitech mouse, the one with the middle roller on it. Logitech does not currently provide NT drivers for this mouse... and Logitech is a well known company. I suspect the fact that MS has a mouse with a roller might have something to do with that . * OLX 2.1 * Todd Copeland - TEAM OS/2 --- PCBoard (R) v15.3/M 100 * Origin: <> BBS Tampa, Florida (813) 276-1885 (1:377/188) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 206 WINDOWS 32BIT Ref: F2500011 Date: 02/03/98 From: TONY DUNLAP Time: 09:18pm \/To: ERNIE BOKKELKAMP (Read 2 times) Subj: Win98 ...and thus spake Ernie Bokkelkamp unto Dale Ross: DR>GG> It's getting better all the time. :-) DR> DR>Have to agree with you 100% DR> DR>But it stil ain't Windows NT EB> Are you sure, on the surface (i mean gui) the look the same EB> ;-) Yeah, and they used to sell those kits that made a VW look like a Porsche too :^) Later Tony Dunlap, (tdunlap@odot.dot.ohio.gov) ...Well, it USUALLY works... --- Maximus 2.02 * Origin: The Outer Limits * v.34+ * 31 gigs * 614-772-5520 (1:2220/10) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 206 WINDOWS 32BIT Ref: F2500012 Date: 02/04/98 From: GARY GILMORE Time: 01:15pm \/To: ALL (Read 2 times) Subj: New in the Windows32 FDN New Windows95 releases, from the Windows32 File Distribution Network.

You're going to give up the ability to run two devices so that you can run one....slower? The CD will run faster from the onboard ports. You are absolutely wrong on the last part. According to Microsoft, NT will only recognize two IDE ports. It doesn't matter what address you give the 3rd one.
