If you REALLY need DOS use 98 SE, avoid Win ME, if you get offered it 
free, run away screaming.

If you use some of the SIOCONS replacements you should be able to use XP 
  or Win2k, I use CodeWarrior on these and they work great, but the DOS 
modes don't work so well, they timeout all the time when transfering the 
files to the Yaroze.

Cheers
Nigel
