Does anyone have experience w/ FIC 2013 board. I installed this atx board w/ K6III/450...I've never had problems connecting the case connections before? But I am this time? I can turn the system on but not off? And when I go through windows restart I end up in improper start-up proceedure( what is that scan disk?)...the reset works..the power lead is designated as remote power button(soft power)on this board. They sent me the wrong fan connection? I wonder if this is effecting things? It has the regular power connection not the board connection. My previous Gigabyte board had a jumper for this soft power button....FIC doesn't appear to? if there are any experts out there pm me w/ a phone and I'll give a ring to discuss this....I suppose I'll end up calling tech support later. stumped... Jeff

Sure you can. Pifs work exactly the same in Win 95, 98, and NT (and not all that different in Win 3.1 for that matter). Just play with them a bit. When you run a DOS program, Windows sets up a virtual machine for it to run in using the environment specification in the pif. Then realize that when you log off and reboot to the win 95/98 DOS prompt, you're just exiting from Windows to DOS, exactly like back in the Win 3.1 days. So you see the DOS command prompt. This DOS is running in the real machine, not a Windows virtual machine mock-up, so it can poke the real hardware pretty hard. That's all there is to it.
