[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Upgrading an old Columbia MPC.

restock@PacBell.COM (Bob Stockwell) (02/20/91)

I have an old Columbia MPC with two floppies (low density).  I
recently dug it out of a box and set it up for my 6 year old.  He has
gotten accustomed to swapping the floppies around (Kids will adapt to
anything :-> ), but I'm responsible for making all those floppies.  I
tried to install a hard disk from an old XT, using the controller from
the XT.  But, it wouldn't recognize the hard disk.  Has anyone
sucessfully upgraded a Columbia MPC (cheaply).

Will I need to upgrade the power supply also?  Does anyone know how to
do that too?  Any help would be appreciated.

The next step is EGA/VGA, if I can do it cheap enough.
