That was probably /dev/rtc. You need to compile that option into your kernel. I originally tried it with a P-150/40 MB and it was too slow to be useful. I now have a K6-2/350 with 64 MB and it is significantly slower than native Win95, but fast enough to be useful. > I will have to be patient with WINE. I haven't tried WINE recently. It seemed fine with some games, and I got quicken to run partially, but wouldn't want to rely on it. I guess I should give it another try.
