I had similar problems with my pair of APCIII's. Frustrated, and in need of extra space, I threw them out, but I managed to save most anything that wasn't permanently attached to the case. I've got a few of the memory boards that slid in the back as well as a few parallel cards I think. I also (think) that I have a few of those NLE cards that plugged in the front. The two that i had also had another smaller (memory?) card that plugged in to a special slot at the front, an external HD connector (and a HD.... SCSI?), and a special keyboard with special buttons for graphic functions. Not surprising since they booted up with the DOS 2.11 version of AutoCAD. I couldn't, for the life of me, get them to run anything else! If anyone needs any parts let me know, I haven't got much use for them. Les lfb107(a)psu.edu
