I never said they didn't work anywhere, and I have no old 2100 hardware.

And like it or not, it has to work at least as well as Windows on the same machine to be considered functional. Many devices work better. -- bill davidsen CTO TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with small computers since 1979
