Stupid question. Is there some kind of memory limit in OS/2 Warp V3. For
some reason the system I've got thinks it has 48MB, and unless I'm mistaken
it has 192MB of RAM.

Good advice; check that the switch is set to PRT, and replace the battery;
If you can't find (or afford) the correct replacement, AAA Alkalines will indeed
work well, and even AA's will just fit.
However, once properly configured, it should work even with a dead battery,
at least until you turn it off again. Use F10 after you set the configuration,
not F1.
The hard disk should be set to 11 if it's the standard disk.
Also, you may find it easier to just remove the keyboard to replace the
battery; 3 screws under the front and a couple of tabs to release in the
display latch compartment; remove the keyboard & the shield, and you'll
find the battery behind the keyboard on the right.
As Chris will confirm, you should remove the dead battery ASAP to avoid
corrosion problems.
Good luck; I've got a T3100 if I can help.

Stefan,
This may help, it applies to a Toshiba T3200SX so may be of some use.
If there is a small switch located near the floppy drive, set it to 'B' or
'PRT'.
This switch configures the parallel port for printer or external floppy drive.
If it's set to 'A' the bios goes looking on the parallel port for the A drive.
The machine should now boot from a DOS boot disk.
Bios settings. If the T3100 is anything like the T3200 then it is likely that
there is a default bios setting for the hard drive. Try this setting. If
there isn't
a default setting you will have to open the machine up and see what HDD is
fitted. You'll have to do this anyway to replace the battery.
Getting the case apart. On the top of the case, at the rear, there are two
small covers which slide off to reveal hidden screws. Undo all of the screws
on the underside, take of the rear cover and metal panel and the case should
come apart. The battery is probably stuck onto the back of the floppy drive
chassis with Velcro. (The T3200's only bad feature in my opinion).
If you need to take the display apart, the screws are located under the rubber
'feet' located in the corners and underneath the label marked FDD, HDD etc.
A pair of AAA sized Alkaline cells will do as a temporary replacement CMOS
backup battery. There is enough room under the keyboard for them.
The postscript level 2 and the memory card have been claimed. Apparently there
are quite a few people still using HP III's out there ;)

I've always wanted a bit set that will disassemble the
McDonald's Happy Meal toys. They almost always have a
screw with a triangular hole, perhaps rounded at the bottom.
What are those called? Trilobe?

The titles are in Japanese and English. You would have no problem reading
them. Most Japanese trading firms will throw one in if you order $2000
worth of parts ;>) Or, you may order from MCM Electronics. Each book is
USD $19.95.

Please note that each number is produced by a specific manufacturer. Only
Sanyo makes the 2SC1308K, and only Sony makes the 2SC867A. The
manufacturer name is in Japanese, in a column on the left side of the entry
(don't have my book handy).
So if Panasonic-Matsushita is desiging a piece of equipment, chances are
that they will initiate a new Matsushita part number rather than buying an
equivalent device from a competitor such as Hitachi or NEC. Thus the many
equivalent devices.

Anyone want a mint-condition DEC Rainbow? It's free for cost of shipping
>from Tucson, AZ, USA.
My contact descries it as a DEC Rainbow 1-00+ complete with keyboard and
monitor. On the back it apparently says
PC-100+
PC-100-B2
It has a 12 MByte disk, DOS 2.11 with Fortran and dBase loaded.
Please contact me offlist if you are interested.

Wait a moment, I'm one of the people of the RCS/RI! I just this minute
returned from our monthly Open House. Let me back up a moment, here,
because I don't get all the RCS/RI's traffic, and I haven't heard of any
of this. We've had several members seriously sick recently, and if
you've been conversing with one them then that's why you haven't heard
back. I will forward this message among the RCS/RI members. Meanwhile,
would the original poster of this traffic please e-mail me with details
so that I can fetch them around inside the RCS/RI so that they don't get
lost again?

Nowadays most small 50/60 Hz transformers have thermal fuses fitted.
It isn't mandatory but it is good practice from a safety point of view.
A lot of "power bricks" have these fuses fitted because it is cheaper
than than a separate fuse holder. If the manufacturer fitted a fuse,
you can guarantee that there is always someone who would bypass it.
