But my ASUS is not acting erratic.  One day it behaved properly all the 
time (except that the hard drive apparently went bad in it) and the next 
it behaved badly all the time.  The DFI behaves properly 5/6 of the time 
and has been doing so for a year or so.  Recently it got better (now boots 
zipslack when it never did before).  Maybe something is getting less 
corroded?  Plugging drives in and out might have helped?

I will see if the ASUS works with an MGA card and then consider Win98 DOS 
with it.  First I need to remake that linux drive (it will be the third 
one - tar all the files, copy with RAMdisk linux to  new drive, untar 
there).  Good thing we have too many computers.
