What do I do with this thing? Amateur packet radio in DOS } RTTY (telex) in DOS } communication modes by the ether Hell in DOS } Programming EPROMs, PIC-processor and the like using printerport and/or COM-port Keying transmitters for testing or beacon mode BASIC programming and testing Text editting in the garden in the summertime, using WordStar or Q-edit. Not enough memmory or speed for serious internet activities. For most programs this laptop must be booted with DOS 5.0 CU, Bastiaan -- Arachne V1.61, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
