I'm considering buying a used Compaq portable 286 and have a few questions about expandability, since I've heard that Compaqs are somewhat non-standard: It has a 20 meg hard drive. Can common larger hard drives (Seagate, Miniscribe, etc) be substituted or added? Can other video cards (ega, vga) be put in and used with an external monitor? The keyboard is hard-wired in, and, I'm told, uses a non-standard electrical interface. Does anybody know anything about this interface? Reply by Email, I'll summarize.
