Hi! I have managed to recently acquire an IBM Portable Personal Computer. This is the old (i guess) 8088 enormous machine that needs to be plugged in, has a tiny amber monitor built in, etc. etc. OK, here are the questions I have, being mostly a Mac person: 1) It has 256K at the moment. Can I/How might I amp its memory, say to 640K? 2) It currently has 2 5.25" 360K floppies in it. Can I put a HD in it? Do I need a controller? What kind of controller/drive? 3) Could I simply yank the motherboard and stick in some sort of 286 or 386 motherboard, or will they not work with this machine? Actually, any info you have on it would be much, much appreciated. Thanks! -JBZimmerman! ___________ |-Here comes your father. || | -Henry V || ||acob Zimmerman!+> <zimerman@phoenix.Princeton.EDU> INTERNET === | <zimerman@PUCC> BITnet
