It did support USB, and with 48bit LBA enabled, i think 2Tb is the limit it’ll support for disk size. The killer was the 32bit memory size limit. Win2k-x64 would have been amazing.

Thanks for the correction, it was some time ago. Anyway we ran Windows 2000 until XP was released.

I personally hated XP, stuck with Win2K on all my machines until Win7 came out! So yeah, i have experience in making it work on hardware it wasn’t meant to!

I switched to chromeOS fairly early on and never looked back.

I’ve just been using whatever OS works best for the purpose as far as personal machines, so I’m running a fun blend of everything. But work is strictly locked down HP laptop on the domain with the standard software package for business. At least i got to be local admin…

HW support will be an issue if installing w2k today. A vintage PCI- bus (not PCI-E) display adapter and an OHCI USB host controller might be handy.
