[Coco] Ideal Windows box for working with the CoCo.

[Jim Cox]

I'm planning on building up a Windows 98 system with both 
3.5" and 5.25" drives, USB CF card reader, and plenty of 
HDD space to use with  Portal 9, various emulators, and 
the DriveWire.

Can anyone think of anything else I may need? 

I decided on Win98 since it still uses real DOS and not 
the psuedo DOS on 2K and XP and it supports the older 720K 
drive format.  This info I had gleened from the list, and 
I may have misunderstood what some people posted, so 
please correct me if I am wrong.  

Also, from what I have read from the list, Win98 is the 
most compatable Windows OS with the emulators.  I have 
tried to get the DK emulator from GCC (check is in the 
mail) to work with 2K, but I can never access the 
configuration routine and all I get when I run the program 
is the standard CoCo screen, so I'try it on a Win 98 box.

Any thoughts?  Thanks!

Jim
