Gregory, Thanks for the tip but I have no idea. How would I go about finding this out. Right now Windows is still installed on the computer so could I find that info out in the Device Manager or something? I am going to try making new floppies first and I will post how that works out. Thanks.

If it does, then you'll need someone to cook up a speakup kernel for that architecture.
