Hi folks. Hi. Well, looks like there aren't any other folks out there with an answer, so why don't I take a shot at this one :) I have a little problem. I got an Amstrad PC1640 HD20. Real old. Well, really old means a lot of different things to different people. I thought the couple

IF memory serves (This is going back a long way) The Amstrad PC1640 was a 286 or 386. I saw one in operation about 5 years running an accounting package it was Very old then. I think they originally had 720K floppy disks. I do not know about running elks on it as I haven't played with ELKs

The amstrad PC1640 has nothing to do this 286 and 386 , it is just an 8086 based machine... The one we are talking about obviously has 20MB harddisk... HarKal

Is the TCP/IP project totally dead, or is someone still working on it? I have an ATT PC6300 just waiting for me to install ELKS on it, but without a TCP/IP stack, it is of limited use to me. I **really** want to put it back into service!! Thanks - Larry --
