Which MeoBoot to use?

I´m still using OE1.5 (Nabilo image) in flash in my DM8000, but would like to switch to OE1.6 images to enable installing newer OE1.6 images in USB key. I´m thinking about putting DreamEliteBH 133 in flash, then the last Gemini (5.1) and some other image in USB.

It all seems fairly simple, however, the more I read about different versions of MeoBoot and problems when using them, the more questionable and unpredictable the success seems to be.

Would somebody please tell me the following:
Does DreamEliteBH 133 image (being Multiboot) already contain a built in MeoBoot - which makes a separate MeoBoot installing unneccessary. If not, what version of MeoBoot to install? Now, with Nabilo (OE1.5) in flash, I´m using MeoBoot 92, which works without a problem installing OE1.5 images in USB key. Would it work for OE1.6 images also (if I install it in DE BH 133 in flash)?

The newer MeoBoot 96 seems to cause problems when used in DM8000, allegedly being made for VU+. In MeoBoot for VU+ Duo section (on this board) I came across a modified MeoBoot, usable for all OE1.6 images (the text in German). But it has to be formatted to ex3 format - which I don´t see I can do on my PC (only FAT32). Has anybody tried it in DM8000 in DE BH 133?

So, would a user of MeoBoot in DM8000 in DE BH 133 tell me which MeoBoot to use to be sure it will work (if it´s not incorporated in the image itself)?

After installing DE BH 133 (as I read on their board) new drivers have to be installed in this image in flash before starting MeoBoot installation. Where can I get the drivers?

I can also see that a number of people, who don´t manage well in this chaos of MeoBoots, turn back to Barry Aleen. It seems more stable, it only requires much more space.

Sorry for a lot of questions and thank you in advance for your answers, I would appreciate them. They´ll, no doubt, help somebody else too.
