It should do, but there is the possibility it won't in which case you'll need to
go looking for some drivers.

Actually, Windows 2000 is what I'd put on. Just remebered, my work desktop back
in 1998 was a Compaq P166 with 128MB RAM and Windows 2000. It ran fine. And my
work laptop TODAY is a P2 400 with 128MB RAM and Windows 2000. It is also fine
for Offie 2000 and internet stuff. BUT, and this is a big BUT, I have a feeling
Rebel 4 for DOS does not work on Windows 2000 or XP. You'd have to check that.
Advantage of Windows 2000 as well as stability is that it has fairly recent
service packs from MS
