>>Probably, but not as easily as I'd like. I've got an old 28.8 in Win 3.1 (486DX 50) that I'm going to yank out and see if I can get it going. If so, then I'll probably just buy a sound card (I can't recall if the old one is an integrated modem/sound card or not. I'll find out when I pull it. If it's in one of EISA slots...). Part of the problem will be trying to find the doc on it. On the Win 3.1 box, it's configured (via the jumpers) as COM2, because the mouse is on COM1. COM2 is already spoken for on the P200 and everything is expecting COM1 to be the modem. In fact, find the doc, may be the biggest part of the problem. Source code for a 6502 Disk Operating System would probably be easier to find than this (and if you saw my home office you'd understand why.< bg >).

I may have a modem & soundcard you can have. I highly doubt your P200 has an EISA bus...it probably has ISA and PCI slots.

Sure. I'll be trying to put in the 28.8 tonight anyway and testing that.

BTW, I always thought that the long slots were EISA (I have a great deal of problems keeping software and hardware acronyms straight< bg >). Wasn't that introduced with the advent of the AT?
