Interesting thought. I don't think I ever had to look for a layer 3 RPL
helper. RPL seems to have fallen out of favor around the time IP took over
the world.

I think that the tubo mode is not happening, it's running like a regular
XT. I have seen it go into Turbo mode once or twice, so there is a
marginal chip somewhere that needs to be replaced. That's my final
decision.
Either way, I have filled the hard drive up with various software from the

That was it, Remote Program Load. Simple protocol, ran at the MAC layer
if I recall, and worked. However it had an issue with routers and I
think BOOTP was easier to use with a "helper" on the switch or router to
handle it.
Old stuff. But yes pull that ROM chip or Arcnet card and it should

Could that be RPL? I have a WD800x ethernet card with netboot PROM sold
with a "Netware ready" or some such workstation that it took me a bit to
figure out was looking for an RPL boot server, not BOOTP/TFTP.

Sitting here paging in old stuff from my brain. I'll bet you have an
ArcNet card, and on the card it has a BIOS bootloader that was designed
to do a BOOTP load of a DOS from a Netware or 3Com server.
Pull the card and it will probably boot normally off the floppy.

Guys...I just wanted to know if anyone has either an original user/tech
guide or worked with the actual specific machine. Maybe there is a
password reset util disk image floating around specific to the original PCs
Limited system, or a backdoor password ...that's what I am after...the

What cards are plugged into the motherboard?
What video do you have connected?
On 3 digit error codes, 4xx was monochrome video problems
Do you get any beeps?
Does it have a dipswitch (SW1)? What are the current settings of it?
With all cards removed, and SW1 (if it has one) switches 5 and 6

I used to use (and service) PC Limited stuff back in the 90's at Macro.
I don't remember a turbo board, just a normal XT system board. Pop the
case open and check.
If I recall PC Limited and Dell (what they became) came with call in
service from Xerox. Maybe give them a call? ;-)
