If you look at the files available on the IBM PC Web site, there are new ones for the 770 and NT4. Seems to me that they are supporting it. I don't have a 770 but do have a 765D on which I installed NT 4 (SP-3). It works fine. I have had fewer problems with NT than with the preload Win95 (can't suspend/resume or hibernate for some reason with 95 but both work fine with NT on the same physical HD (Win95 preload on C: and NT on D:). Win95 misrecognizes an IBM 100/10 EtherJet PCI card in a SelectaDock2 and it refuses to work. Card works fine with NT (and Solaris x86 2.6 and Warp 4). It isn't that hard to load and configure NT although you do need to download a bunch of files to get all the IBM NT drivers/utilities, etc. My experience is that NT is more stable than 95 on my 765D but netiher is a stable as Solaris but there aren't many applications available for Solaris. My 765D is maxed out at 104 MB RAM, 5GB disk, etc. Stuart At 07:06 AM 1/19/98 -0600, you wrote: > > >I am very curious about the answer to this too. I have had the 770NT on order >since October.
