Hi Nicolas,

Thanks!! I'd be very happy to be able to test it! My fear right now is 
that the old disks are getting too old to be readable, so my first task 
will be to save what can be saved.
(Next step could be to play more with my old 4016N (rebuilt into an 
8096+ edition me ;-) which cannot 'boot'.)

The PC I'm using with my NI-card is pure DOS right now. This is because 
I'm using WinXP only these days, and I got rid of my Win98 CD some time 
ago - so I'm not able to build a W98 machine. I can see that I should 
consider to find a W98 again then :-)

Cheers,
Claus
