I did have some trouble with my adapted Starboard II, but solved those problems by selling it to a 1000 owner in need of more memory.

Haven't had any problems, either. This discussion went around last summer (right before I got mine), and I don't remember any problems that people pointed out in it. I've got a Seagate 277N hard drive in the set-up, too. Sean

Provided your hard drive (if it has one) doesnt mins (and most dont), theres no reason you can't set your 2000 on its side. If your so inclined one of those floor stands they sell for MS-DOS machines will work well. Matter of fact so will the MS-DOS monitor and keyboard extension cables.

No problem. I have my Amy under the Desk in a vertical position for almost 2 years now. The only thing you should do first if you have a Harddisk is to check if the Harddisk manufacturer specifies that the drive can be used in a vertical position -- if so, you're home free. -- Christian Motz uucp: ...!uunet!mcvax!unido!pfm!nadia!dialog!root "Trust me, I know what I'm doing!" -- Sledge Hammer Bix: cmotz

There is one more thing to watch for if you have a hardcard, or have otherwise mounted a drive on edge (when the 2000 is in the 'normal' position. When you stand it on end, be sure that the drive ends up 'right side up'. Many, if not most, drives simply will not run, or will fail prematurely if run upside down. -larry -- - Don't tell me what kind of a day to have! - +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | // Larry Phillips | | \X/ lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca or uunet!van-bc!lpami!lphillips | | COMPUSERVE: 76703,4322 | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+
