The m I think if I remember it rite takes the user in to wang's ver of
msdos, The way to get back in, hmm might have been EXIT.
the one I had had a ten meg winchester hard drive, that was some drive, I
think it was made of cast iron well, the case at any rate. It also had a
glass like cover ocovering up the iners of the harddrive.
The two 5.52 flopys wore 180 K and conected to the mother board.
It does slide out of the sleeve quite nicely, the two cards that are
conected togather are lan and mem ory combination, I think, when I removed
them I had less memory.
I found out why it wouldn't boot, it was a pin on the c p u didn't make it
in the hole, when some one tryed to plug it in, straitening the pin cracked
it off, ****! I thought about it for some time and used a peese of coper
wire to fix it, first I incerted the wire into the hole whear the broken pin
would have been once the chip was pluged in, I don't remember how I was able
to locate the hole, I don't have to tell you how tiny they are, the chip
still had a bit id the broken pin sticking out of the side of it, not enough
to solder , but enough to make a tite contact whith the coper wire, after
the chip was plugged back in I trimed itso it didn't stick up a half inchbut
just a little over the top of the chip.
It worked!
I can't remember if it booted in a wordprosesser or a menu, I think it was
a word prosessor.
I seem to remember some thing funy about the program was you couldn't quit
it , it would not let you I think it just rebooted, unless you had a flopy
in drive A:.
The not so funy thing about the monotor is the power and data cords
coming out of it both had the same plug on the end of them, and pluging the
data plug in to the power socket on the vidio card was a hasard.
Since they wore bothe the same kind of plug I tied a twist tie around the
power plug just to let me know whitch was whitch, just incase I got the ich
to use the monoter when I was writting stuff in the word prosesser.
Oh well, It was still is a great machine albeit huge!
