From EA8 I will be using a desktop =
Pentium running Finnish WIN95. Same as last year on SSB.
 Booting to DOS is no problem, change =
WIN.COM to WIN95.COM.

But I also need to change the keyboard =
type from FINNISH to US. As I recall last year changing in WIN95 was =
not enough, as the computer was essentially booting to DOS. There was a =
file somewhere that I edited from DOS using EDIT. In the file was a =
line signifying keyboard type, and I changed &quot;SU&quot; to =
&quot;US&quot; (I assume SU =3D Finnish in their language). My trusty =
RF proof US keyboard then functioned like I was at home.

p.s. Guess I should have saved last =
year's notes!
