- You may want to refer to a previous posting...
-
- I was sadly in your shoes...I did all of the above and more..
- I installed Win 3.1...increased to 8 megs...and install a 387 (for Falcon 3.0's
- High Fidelity Mode)...but the best addition was my Diamond Stealth card (gee,
- this sounds very familiar!) Other pointers...don't put Windows on a Stacker
- drive, trash Himem.sys, don't blame Smartdrv for everything, and most
- important of all...give Windows every bit of memory you can spare.
-
- Or...buy a 486/66! :-)
-
- Good luck
- Mario
