Another thought about my earlier reply to: >>RCPADI for 3ds2 with r3… I forgot to mention my experience with my second machine. I have two machines here (Gateway 486 with Diamond Speedstar and Gateway Pentium with an ATI AX0). The 486 works with the Vibrant drivers; I couldn't get the Pentium to work with ANY drivers. In fact, while trying the Vibrant drivers and switching back and forth between 3DS and Windows, Windows crashed big time and took my HD out with it (requiring a re-format). I can't say if it was 3DS or Vibrant or Windows or DOS-6 or the Pentium or the phase of the moon, but suffice it to say I haven't tried it again. <g> With two machines and a little network, the need to run 3DS under Windows has disappeared for me.

Well, I got it working with the suggestions everyone had. I think I tried the vibrant config program, but maybe not. Anyway, I got the rcpadi drivers working. I agree with you about 3ds under windows, most of the time I boot directly into 3ds. I just wanted to have the option(G) but not at the risk of my hard drive! I hope that was a fluke. Thanks again for your help. Doug
