   Are your newer PC's AMD Athlon or Duron based? If so, Beos r5 pro will   
   not work unless you patch the kernel! I too bought Beos r5 pro and it   
   ran fine on my old Pentium and AMD K6-2 systems, but would not install   
   on my later Duron and Athlon systems. There is a version of beos based   
   on the r5 personal edition, that comes pre patched for AMD Duron and   
   Athlon systems, and includes the later r5 updates as well as some driver   
   updates.............it's called beos max v3. Do a search for beos max   
   and you should find the website its available from (its free!). Hope   
   this helps, radish
