Hm?  How big is that disk?  I use LILO from 2 different 1GBs and 2
different 2GB drive.  The 1GBs are both SCSI, the 2GBs are an EIDE and 
a SCSI.

How do you do this?  Or when you say "triple system," do you mean the
"DOS mode" that comes with Win95?  When I loaded Win95, I lost the
ability to use DESQview/X.  DV/X depends on QEMM386, which does not
cooperate well with Win95's version of DOS.  I miss that mainly
because it had a solid FTP, which Win95 doesn't; keeps crashing when
downloading over a PPP link.
