Today, in the bus to work...

IIRC the 5155 (PortablePC) used bristol spline screws in the monitor section. The tools for those are a lot harder to get here than Torx drivers. For some unknwn reason the Ferret (a combined breakout box, currnet loop/RS232/Centronics covnerter, strip pritner and EPROM programmer) is assembled with System Zero screws. Now those _are_ a pain... I refer to Williams Tubes, of course. Actualylm I think there were monbitor CRTs to display the contents of the store (as an array of dots), but I couldn't resist giving that answer.... Yo ucna't se ethe origian becuase it no longer exists, but there's a reproduction of it i nthe museum in Mangchester. I've seen it (not in operaiton, they do run it from time to time). It's stretching the defintion of 'personal comnputer' of course... -tony
