what I seem to remember about what will work & what

I have read somewhere that this machine will run PC-DOS 1.0, but if you
use the DIR command, it promptly freezes.
I think I also remember reading that (oddly enough) MS-DOS 5.0 or 6.0
will work without complaint. However it will fail the infamous "Flight
Simulator Test" regardless.
If you can find the version of DOS that shipped with it (H-DOS), you'll
be in good shape.
I have no idea what version or variant of DOS shipped with it. That's one of the
hings that I'm trying to find out.

Hi All,
This past week I picked up a Hyperion model 3032 computer with a low
serial number (<800) made in Canada. I found some info on it on the web
but not much. Can anyone tell me if this will run PC-DOS? I powered it
up and it appears to boot PC DOS 5.0 fine but then I can't get any
response from the keyboard so I don't know if it's a DOS problem or
hardware problem. Anyone have pinouts or other info on the keyboard
port?
Joe
