On Wednesday, Bernie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> typed: ] Actually I could have tested this myself. But I have another interesting ] question then, you mean that it doesn't lock up when you are in DOS?

(5 ] minutes or so just to start). You are supposed to reserve some memory for the PCMCIA devices. I don't have them off the top of my head, but they're in my config.sys. ALSO!! I got this computer with MS-DOS 6.20 and Compaq Windows 3.10. So obviously someones done the dirty on you there. I have since deleted the windows, because I had everything needed for DOS [for the computer] and on bootup, when you see the cursor in the top right corner, press F10. You should then boot off a second partition, with only setup stuff. [This partition is about 2MB, seen as /dev/hda3 in Linux] I have found the computer locks up a lot more without these memory unused. I wouldn't mind a PCMCIA network card so I could connect it to the other computers I'm hoping to network. This computer has the fastest COM ports of all the computers I own! -- | L | .... --- --- -.. -.-- .-- .- ... .... . .-. . .-.-.- | B | | A | Indeed, This message was written by Hoody on his 486SX33 | E | | Z | HP: http://i.am/hoody mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQUIN: 30919770 | A | | Y | Homepage Contents: Arachne Webring, PostHaste, plus more | M | Can you prove it didn't happen? * PostHaste and Arachne To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
