If it's on a separate partition of the drive, you can just sys the drive
from a Win98/95 boot disk to get rid of the boot menu.  If you installed
over your previous OS, and it's a machine you can't afford to experiment
with, well...bad decision.

PS5 has always worked well with W2k, from beta 2.  Acrobat was OK, but I
haven't tried the other two yet.

I have an Epson 1600 scanner on order, and I don't have

Win98 drivers have worked for my ESC850 and 800, but W2k has its own so I
never needed to install anything.  If you check the HCL at the Microsoft W2k
site, it should have a current list of hardware.
