Since this is the first time I've seen this question _THIS_ week, I'll go ahead and answer. No, the DOS card (at least, the one that Apple designed) will not run any flavor of Unix, Linux, Windows NT, or OS/2. I doubt the Orange card will either. You want BSD-flavor Unix on a Mac, I've heard good things about MachTen. --The Elder Dan -- I don't have time to be a puppet of the status quo. http://www.armory.com/~crisper/ crisper@armory.com
