If you are bored or enjoy a challenge...Winner will get a used wifi card of my choice.

A quad boot drive. Wifi must work in the first three.
No virtual machine cheating. Laptops only
1)Windows
2)Linux
3)OSX
4)MS-Dos

Second Wifi card if you can do it on a CF52.

:zzz: if PXE is an accepted solution

otherwise you might need to up the odds to a cf20/33 and provide osx+windows licenses*+isos ... and we might have a deal :salute:




* yeah, I am aware of that "you may only run osx on apple hw" clause in the eula,
but willing to argue it in most European courts, as it seems rather straight forward

Oh,
So PXE is a small bootloader that loads the various OS's from a server.

Nice idea. But I mean a single drive.

Actually, I think the best option to make this happen would be to build the drive on/for a Mac.
I know a Macbook will run Windows fine.

I have an Apple sticker..
