It ain't gonna happen. I tried it even with the newest BIOS and no go. Will boot from Floppy or harddrive only. You thinking of trying a live CD Linux?

72 megs of RAM is a little lite for Win2k isn't it? Win98 will struggle with it but will run. Ya know, the best OS i've ever had on that 365 it M$DOS 6.22. Ran really well in 8 meg RAM too. Too bad network and WIFI isn't in DOS.
