Our latest computer (which works now that we unplugged and replugged RAM, 
cpu, bios) is a K6-2/533, in what looks like a super socket 7 (like the 
300 and 350 K6 that were not PII).  Is K6-2 equivalent to PI or PII as 
regards mplayer compatibility?  It was given to us with 256 MB RAM.

My partner says FreeDOS works better if you substitute 4dos for 
command.com.  He was having trouble formatting a drive before this.
We are going to defrag by copying files between partitions.
