[Elecraft] Windows Upgrade

[Hank Kohl K8DD]

I would leave Windows 98 as it is.  Install Windows 2K.  The menu will come up
asking you which you want to use and default to Win2K.  Then edit msdos.sys
to show bootgui=0 - that way when you select 98 boot it will go to a command
prompt and you can run your DOS programs.

That's how I have my DXpedition laptop --- I can use DOS for logging programs,
98 to work with my digital camera and Win2K for a stable OS.
