Interesting. Using SoftWin 2 (I have uninstalled SoftWin95) I simply can't
see the DOS partition on the CD-ROM. If says "disk missing". And the manual
explains why. But looking at the SoftWin95 manual it doesn't mention using
an alternative driver.

Conclusion has to be that SWin95 will read the DOS partition of dual boot
CDs and SWin2 will not.

So I guess I need to reinstall SWin95. Given the room it takes up, I'm not
sure I want to. I'll try to find out how much the Insignia driver for SWin2
costs. If not too much, it's certainly the neater solution for me.
