Well, I opened her up to peek inside, wanted to see if there was a way to set the modem com and/or irq. Nope, it's all set elsehow. Damn, that's a cute machine. Precision built, you can feel the quality in how it glides together, all snappity tight and smooth, each peice fits just so. As proprietary as a Mac Plus, it is. Has a spot for a card waiting, I think it's for sound, an option that wasn't installed. Has a little slot in front for the RAM, couldn't tell much about it except that you could concievably choose different cards for different amounts of RAM depending on your budget. Little card just slips in and out. Has several little core memory thingies, round ceramic doughnuts with wires wrapped around, one on the modem too. CPU isn't intel! Thing is, can't seem to get a response from the modem, and can't figure why. Any suggestions? Ways I could test it for life? Is there a way to get into the bios? It seems to have a virtual drive D: which contains system files, says it's a ROM drive. That would imply that you can't change the files located there, although these include an autoexec.bat and config.sys different from the ones on C: though. I suspect this has no bios, that the virtual drive is it's version of one and you can't change things but then, what about if I found and installed the appropriate sound card? curiouser and curiouser. Darn cute little computer, this is! But it wants a modem, that's for sure. Wonder if I could find another like it. Seems unlikely but one never knows. bye, Yolanda UIN 4898262 http://members.home.net/pippi5 DCLXVI That's the actual number of the beast, 666 was not the numeral system currently in use at the time of the writing of Revelations.
