Would that enable you to then run Win98 on an NTFS partition, and get USB
support (since NT doesn't do USB)?

While I'm posting this - has anyone had any luck whatsoever in getting
consumer USB-devices (think digital camera) to connect to an NT box? I can't
dual-boot cos AFAIK Win98 won't touch NTFS (plus rebooting just to download
images would suck).

(Got Win2K laptops arriving soon, but it'd be nice to have a solution in the
meantime.)

Any ideas?
