I actually installed the Classic CD on a P166 with Win98 and an AWE64 yesterday (being on holiday) ... and ran out of disk space. Damn, ain't that Classic. I'll drop a bigger IDE disk into the machine tonight as a secondary and install on that. I seem to have a LOT of IDE disks lying around since the world went SATA LOL.

I tried running Classic as a WINE app on LINUX but the client doesn't recognize WINE's DirectX9.0c driver as DirectX so it won't get past the EULA screen. Not that I expect to connect to anything but I wanted to see if the movie worked [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I did notice that when I installed on LINUX the MIDI (whatever) files are accompanied with SoundFont files, so I'll see if I can load them using the SoundBlaster utils that come with the cards to play the music, since actually being able to zone in to P99 with a Classic client is highly improbable!
