    Kind of nice timing coming back upon this thread. I was starting to feel
    sorry for myself having to solve your kind of problem on a 350 MHz box, but
    it's a screamin' demon by comparison, isn't it?

    Same kind of situation. In my case, the guy has been collecting computers
    people have given him after they upgraded, and he has about a dozen, ranging
    from an old XT to a screaming P-133. None of them boot. I'm scraping
    together enough pieces to try to get an X terminal out of one, and I'm going
    to take that and give him my 350 MHz X terminal in trade. Best I can do
    without one of us spending money we don't have. I'm br0000k3 too.
