got a new complete 8088 system

[Mike Chambers]

having a kaypro would be pretty cool, that is a nice offer. i will think about this! the thing i like about this computer though, is that i can run all the QB software i've been writing on it.

Leetirc ran pretty well until it actually came to connecting to the server, it would get most of the way, then the graphics would go black and white, and the computer would hang saying.......

OUT OF MEMORY Cannot Load COMMAND.COM System Halted

So apparently, I'm running out of RAM.

I have some new fish to fry though, right now I'm trying to get either a Sharp JY-750 Magneto-Optical Drive or an Iomega SCSI ZIP Drive to work on the computer, but to no avail. There's a thread about it in the PC section. I'm still learning how to work with a SCSI drive setup.

what kind of graphics card do you have?

My ol' friend 'Time-Release Bill' used to run a BMI system. It was a flip-top case, which I always envied, but I haven't seen another one till now. Is yours for sale?

There is one on eBay right now! But you gotta buy a whole bunch of other IBM stuff to get it.

I have an old book on how memory is divided up back in those days. It makes me feel that I should grow 6 more fingers and start counting in hexadecimal.

I think I still have an old 8-bit disk controller just like the one in that machine laying around.
