Dear Dave:  You may find that the modem and sound card are one in the same
component.  Packard Bell is famous for that.  As for moving over the hard
drive . . . BACK UP, BACK UP, BACK UP.  I would also upgrade the operating
system if that is an option to you.
Good luck.

>Hi there everyone.

>My big question concerns the hard drive. The machine has Win95a on it and
