It's not New Technology, nor Nothern Telecom, not Needs Terabytes neither Not There. It does stand for N-Ten, but that's not the codename for the i860. It's the name of the simulator that was used since i860 didn't really exist while MS was working on the OS. Best regards, Alex Ionescu > That's just MS marketing propaganda.

I've also spoken to the author of this project too. Yuri, hooking into NDIS is also not ideal. We really need to develop an independent driver, attached to the miniport. I won't go into the details of Alex's suggestion as I haven't fully read up on it yet. But I will tell you it involves WFP and WSK if you wanted to look into it.

He seems to think that 9x users are worth something. Please do me a favour: just take a look at his 98/95 micro (hybrid) and then tell me again what you think. He has even reduced it to flash card. No future for 9x? Microsoft is making threats, but it is still supporting 9x. They are not so brash that they would insult their client base. What makes you so cocksure of yourself? His software cost me $45 and I got good service and it works first time, it is so lean that I can make a ghost backup in under 3 minutes. I have been running a test for three weeks on a separate machine, without any protection, except that provided by a router, I have even rejected the Windows Updates. Admittedly I don't surf, but in principle and under restricted conditions it works. And what is more Shane does not blame his users. Nor does he resort to cheap shots. ReactOS, after three expensive downloads, still does not work.

Thanks John. I am not giving up. I just expect a "fair go". That is all. Just give me a good reason why I'm not contributing and I'll gladly leave ReactOS. Looking on the bright side, that item about the USB thumbdrive is a good one. I've been struggling over that one too. I want to embrace all which flows from FreeDOS to ReactOS and beyond. but, not forget 9x in between. I dont see any reason why 9x must remain single user. Before I lost my business in 1987 I sold networked Multiprocessors using PCMOS/386. I was one of the few in the business at that time.
