Thanks for everyone's help on this problem.  I removed the Linksys PCI NIC
from PCA (already had tried this on B) and replaced with an old ISA SMC card
I had laying around.  This resolved the problem.  I'm guessing either the
card went bad, or WIN98's plug and pray IRQ management was giving me grieve
as the NIC was sharing and IRQ with my Video Card and neither would enable
me to change it to another value.  I can now move files etc...
