   You can use your copy of BeOS on a new machine using a second hard drive and   
   a switch which you can get from: tigerdirect.com which allows you to boot   
   directly into BeOS after turning your computer on again. I use the system on   
   one of my computers and it work fine with both Windows 2000, eCS 1.0, and   
   Solaris 8.
