:hmm: I was just wondering, if the worst came to the worst, and F.S. turns out to be totally incompatible with DiractX 10 cards, if it wouldn't be worth your while, picking up an old PC from a car-boot sale or somesuch, maybe even running
Windows 98 and more or less any old VGA ?
As long as you had no intention of gaming on-line with it (not really secure enough) you could use this for all your retro games, and those which won't actually run under Xp/Vista. (e.g. Rowan's: Battle of Britain etc).
You might even find under your workbench enough obsolete bits and pieces to be able to 'cobble' one together. (I know I could !)
Cheers and Good Luck
