Hello. After paying a visit to the only local High School; someone made a comment about
how their 286's didn't work. From an inspection of the school; it looks like
486's are used in half the labs; 2-4 286's and 1 386 per class room; and the
process of Pentiums is being integrated. Some in the most recent wing do have one. But
anyway; the 286s; as you might guess... are DYING. These are all PCs; and the problem is
in HDDs. Now; I only have one MFM HDD handy; which I'll be installing soon; but there
are 2 other malfuctioning PCs that I know of. Remember; this is for a high school; for
the Department of Defence dependants; and a few others, but their funding is not... ideal.
So if you could please just send a MFM HDD, or; if you have them; two (probably of the
20-40MB vairety; the standard sofware is a DOS menulite; WP51 for DOS; Qbasic; Printshop;
etc. so it's not heavy; but for DOS 5.0 (what they have) I'd guess that a 10MB
would be pushing it.); and then you'ld have elementary and high school (it's
mixed) students smiling.
Thanks in advance;
