Delay in Alt-Tab response by
PCR
~10 seconds seems excessive, considering I can do that instantaneously. (But I haven't tried it much.)

I am using Win98 First Edition. The IDE hard drive controller is the Intel
82371AB/EB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller. Will this controller control both
IDE and EIDE hard drives? What is the maximum size (GB) IDE and / or EIDE
hard drives that it will control?
