Now that I am getting a PC with two big SCSI HDDs, I would be interested to try out as many OS as possible/feasible. 8-} Question 1. Any opinions of the merits of the various software solutions for managing multiple partitions? I hear good things about Partition Magic, but they haven't answered my email yet. Question 2. Given that my system is likely to come with Windows NT on the C: drive, is there any way I can quickly and easily build a WfW 3.11 system on the D: drive (so I can go on using all my familiar apps until I get used to WNT)? Of course, one way would be to scrub off the C: drive and start from scratch, but I'm reluctant to do that. Question 3. The OS I am interested in are WfW 3.11, W95, WNT, OS/2 Warp, and some form of Unix (Linux, FreeBSD, even Solaris or SCO if possible). Is it possible to run that lot together, and if there are constraints, what are they? Supplementary (for the _very_ patient): Is it possible to drive a Colorado T1000e parallel port streamer from WNT? (I have a sinking feeling WNT only talks to DAT drives, though). Thanks for any replies, in this newsgroup or by email (whichever suits you better). -- Tom Welsh
