According to Warner Losh: > How much space do the PCI drivers take up?

No, my employer at least has almost completely stopped making non-PCI machines. The entry level system is now a 486DX2/66 with PCI bus and 4MB RAM. Of course I wouldn't buy a machine like that, but we have lots of customers who still only want to run DOS and buy it with 4MB. I doubt the other PC vendors will be far behind. Raju -- Raju M.
