My trusty 1994 GW P5-90 running Win95a with an Intel
Premier/PCI II motherboard, 1.6GB WD drive (boot drive)
and 13.6GB WD secondary drive on an Ultra controller card
is still going strong. My plan when the motherboard eventually
fails (yes, I know it can happen anytime) is to move both hard
drives to a GW E-3200 with Maverick JN440BX motherboard,
integrated sound and video card. I'm wondering what issues
I might run into as far as the Win95a hard drive recognizing
the new hardware setup? Or would I be better off installing
Win98 SE for the USB support and then reinstalling all the
programs? Another issue is my HP Scanjep 4P scanner with
SCSI card. I would hope there are Win98 drivers available
for it.
Thanks!
