I suggest you won't feel much accomplishment in doing that. Other than you
prove you can, what's the point? Instead, put it on something that can run
modern versions of available software, like OO.org, Firefox or SeaMonkey.
Find something with a PII or K6/2 at least, 400MHz at least, and a BIOS smart
enough to support LBA48 or even SATA. Modern software demands more than the
pittance required to actually run the originals. Go for 256M at least if you
want to run Firefox.

I do have a K6-2/500 and a K6-III/400, so I will upgrade to one of
those. Thanx for the links. I will have to look into it.

It's more of a nostalgia thing than anything else.
