I have several machines that dual boot. However, I am using Windows NT 3.51 an
d
Linux and haven't tried dual booting with Win95. I currently have 2 Pentium 90
's
(Austin), 2 Pentium 133's (a Tyan motherboard and an Intel), and am currently
building 2 Dual P6 200's. There is a variety of vidio cards, hard drives, card
s,
tape drives, etc. among them. All work fine. I had trouble with the video car
d
and X on one of them (Diamond card), but installing X-Inside's Accelerated driv
er
cured that. The other problem you may run into is with SCSI controllers, Linux
likes some better than others (Adaptec 2940 PCI controller can be a pain), so I
now use NCR cards (810 or 825). If I can be of any assistance, feel free to
phone or email me.
