I don't think 8.5 could tell the difference if it tried. My Umax Apus is fully convinced it is an Apple 6400. -- -> The email address in this message *IS* Valid <-

As with previous releases, I imagine it's fine so long as you have a
CD-ROM drive the install CD recognises as a boot device. After all,
clones were just Tanzania boards like my 4400. Only the badge on the
front changed.
The CD issue was a problem for a chum of mine with a Motorola 3200. Once
he'd worked out what was happening, he realised he could install by
copying the system CD to an external HD, booting off that, and
installing onto his internal. Just hang onto your CDROM driver extension
for the new system!

Lots of conflicts I guess. Netscape crashes frenquently. Remote Access vs PPP maybe the problem. Even with a clean install still having problems. Chris F.
