Kind of nice timing coming back upon this thread. I was starting to feel
sorry for myself having to solve your kind of problem on a 350 MHz box, but
it's a screamin' demon by comparison, isn't it?
Same kind of situation. In my case, the guy has been collecting computers
people have given him after they upgraded, and he has about a dozen, ranging
from an old XT to a screaming P-133. None of them boot. I'm scraping
together enough pieces to try to get an X terminal out of one, and I'm going
to take that and give him my 350 MHz X terminal in trade. Best I can do
without one of us spending money we don't have. I'm br0000k3 too.
