I will be installing a new Maxtor 20G 5400 hard drive in an older system
with Asus SP97-V motherboard and Cyrix 6x86 233MMX processor.
The previous OS was W95 and will now be W98SE.

Questions:
Which type of HD cable will I need for the new drive, "new 80 pin" or "old
40 pin" ?
Should I, or can I, change the CPU to Intel ?
Will the new 32bit OS read/write the previous W95 hard drive which will be
a slave ?

Thanks, Bob Lendrim
