I meant to add this to the other message, so pardon this one.. Most Pentium boards will hold up to 2 gigs of RAM now I think, you could just do it with a RAM disk and a backup hard drive. When it boots, copy everything from the hard disk to the RAM disk and off you go.. Granted, it's not a pretty solution, but gives you the same access time (probably 7-9ns depending on the board and RAM) but I'm not positive, I know no one that has done that so I speak strictly in theory.. -Mitch "When all your plans fail, backup, re-group and press on.
