After downloading Sun's JavaPC, I discovered two things:
1. It is compiled with DJGPP.
2. It relies on DOS ethernet drivers.
Which prompted me to ask the following questions:
1. (Just curious) Did Sun use a stock copy of DJGPP?
2. (Real question) What's the state of the art method of installing DOS
back onto a Windows 95 machine and have it dual-boot to either DOS or
Windows 95. I still have an old copy of grub, downloaded back when
OpenDOS was first announced, which I know would work. But are there any
more advanced methods?
3. I downloaded JavaPC on the recommendation of someone I know, who says
it is "real nice". I'm just wondering if anyone from the DJGPP
community has tried the Java PC, and what your experience is. I'll post
my experience to this group if you are interested.
