This is the second time I am emailing support(a)compaq.com. Both times,
they have given me an automated reply that I should use
forum.compaq.com for the information they have posted, which might
be what I'm looking for. They warn me of the fact that their state-
of-the-art Internet technology (javascript and cookies) won't allow
me to use the site without IE3 or Netscape 2. So much for Lynx.
And all I wanted was a price quote for a new keyboard for the LTE I
got a few weeks ago!
I noticed some people on this list have experience with these things,
so
a)does anyone have any extra LTE Lite/25 keyboards?
b)Is the PS/2 port on the back for a keyboard? If so, can I use an
external kb without an internal one? I haven't had much luck so far.

the problem with most A/D and reverse is the resolution, the more bits
the slower they are. Also the source data wou;d be uncompressed and
hugely bulky. The better sound cards for PCs have the bits and the
speed. However you still need over 600mb of disk for some software
to "build" the CDR image.

My teasers cost me more money in the long run. I keep looking for
something in great condition and end up spending a little extra for the
first one I find in any condition for fear of not finding another one
again. Then for the next few months, all the low cost, great condition
units start becoming available.

Got one recently too. The 1535 is (iirc) a 386, the pod on the bottom is
an expansion box. Has two slots (though I've not yet opened it to verify
that they're ISA slots.) Pretty interesting doohicky.

What you're looking for is:
3.5" 20MB Hard Disk Drive (T3100/20)
JVC : JD3824ROTO
Number of heads: 4
Number of cylinders: 612
Average access time: 78ms
Recording method: 2-7 RLL
TEST/TEST3 setup type: 2
Dunno where to find one, though, other than another T3100/20. (And no, you
can't have mine!)

This should be in the FAQ because, however superstitious it is, this is an
adage that seems to be the case for many of us. Its sort of like a
Murphy's Law.
