PQ's Partition Magic w/ it's Boot Magic is made just for this type of thing. xx-DOS needs to be within the first two gigs of the drive, and may work on the second drive. On a primary partition. WIN98 needs to be on the first drive. On a primary partition. Within the the first 8 gigs (but I didn't fool with Large drive settings). PM indicates that linux can be put in logical partitions on the first drive with the usual caveat regarding 1024 cylinders. I ended up using bootmagic as the loader, it sets various partitions as "hidden" depending upon the OS loaded. I haven't yet looked to see what "hidden" means..
