Sorry, you're right - don't trust that info. Though it comes directly from
IBM, it's not correct. I've double-checked elsewhere and it's NOT an IDE-
controller, but an ESDI-controller. (and a 386SX, not XS of course)

Furthermore there are NO available bays in the machine, so the 60Mb must be
removed.

They also sold them with 160M drives (model 55SX-161). I'm sitting
with an old pricelist right here. I don't have a price for these drives,
but in relation to IBM's current disk-prices, it should go for around
$500 if it's at all available from IBM any more.

Sorry about the initial mis-information. Next time I'll double-check FIRST.

Hi Netters,

    I have an old IBM XT.  The problem is that yesterday the 5-1/4" 360K    
floppy died.  I would like to replace this bad drive with a 3.5" drive.
It really doesn't matter to me if it's the 720K or the 1.44MB drive (although
I can't seem to find a 720K drive anymore).  Does anyone have any suggestions,
ideas, comments, or similar experiences doing this ??  I think someone posted
a similar question earlier, but I didn't save it since at the time I didn't
need to replace the drive.  Oh,  I also have 2 MFM HD drives in the computer.

Please help !!!!

Since the P5 is officially the PENTIUM, and there are systems using V20, V30
and 8088 processors out there, I think the .x86. designator may not be the 
best for naming.  Maybe the generic "pc" could be used, though all the 
competing architectures (Amiga, Mac, etc) can claim that they are also
"personal computers".

There's an excellant chance that a certain amount of the slower spec'ed
memory will work.  Just don't expect a guarantee.  The faster memory
has been certified to run at that speed.  The slower memory chips were
"fall-outs" from the faster tests.  As I understand it the same goes for
CPU chips.  You can expect a certain amount of success from running them
faster, but be warned that if it does you can feel lucky.  

I am also using 100ns 1x9s on a faster system.  It's been running just 
fine for the last year.

Most folks will try to flame me on this one, but anyway.....
 
I have pushed my old 80486DX-25 all the way to 40Mhz with OUT a fan or heatsink. It ran for all of its life (2 years), no it didn't die.  It kinda makes you 
wonder how intel sorts its chips.  I guess if they could get away with selling
it at 33mhz they would.  It just means more $$$$.  I still have the processor
and it is for sale.......

I just upgraded to a 80486DX2-66 and yes, I have jammed it up to 40Mhz with a
heatsink and fan and it runs just fine.  It ran without problems for a few hours, although I will have to admit, I'm somewhat paranoid so I lowered it to back down to 33Mhz.  

I used to work for a PC clone vendor and we used to try to torture the boards
to death in the design verification department.  Of course if the board/processor blew, my home-system would still be running.....

YeS!  If you run Windows, you want a local bus video card.  Even if you dont,
the local bus will speed up any video operations your system does, even in
standard VGA modes.

If the card is properly designed, you shouldn't have any problems.  I happen
to use a local bus ATI, and it flawlessy runs all VGA, SVGA, and 8514 software
that I have tried, and they have ironed most of the serious problems out of
their Windows drivers.

I really don't know much about those two cards, but when you get into fast
local bus video and into the 20 and 30 M winwark range you wont notice much
difference.

I don't know much about the 4 systems you listed, as I own a Gateway.

I used the parameters on the label of this drive. It has 989 cyl., 12 head,
and 35 sector/trk. Now come to think of it. It is unlikely to have 6
platers (12 heads) in this 1" height drive. The *actual* geometry of this
drive probably has 2 or 3 plater, more cylinders, and more sectors on outer
tracks and less on inner. I guess total # of sectors is the same for both
the parameter on the label and the *actual* parameter. Am I right?

I just tried CORE test (v 2.92) I found on wuarchive. It showed 1.89 meg/s.

Most third party boards were designed for the IIP.
The fit in the IIIP memory slot is MUCH tighter. Sometimes subtle movement
of the printer's case can make a working memory board fail dur to shifting.

My approach has been to use a contact enhancer like Tweek on the edge
connector, and to insert the RAM card into the printer very VERY
=V*E*R*Y= =H*A*R*D= until it returns no errors.
 ^^^^^^^

Also, be sure you're using 80 ns chips.

Organization: The World Public Access UNIX, Brookline, MA
Date: Sun, 24 Jan 1993 20:45:29 GMT

My experience with Gateway has been quite satisfactory. I ordered my GW 66V
with just 2 extras -- the modem and 16MB memory. I was told I would get it
in 3 weeks but was delighted to receive it exactly TWO weeks! This was about
a month and a half back -- around thanksgiving.

I did have a problem with my order though. I had ordered and paid for 16MB
memory but received only 12MB. Took me a while to reach customer support and
convince them that it was their mistake. They agreed to send me an extra 4MB
SIMM. To allow myself room for future upgrades, I asked them to send me 2
8MB SIMMS instead of the 4MB so that when I receive the 2 8s I could send
them back the 3 4s I already had.

I got the 2 8s last week but found that they cannot be used on the Micronics
motherboard that comes with the GW 66V. GW was well aware that I wanted the
2 8s for 66V but still sent them knowing that they could not be used. I
called them back to get a 16MB SIMM. But apparently 16s are in short supply.
I am settling for 4 x 4s.

I have not sent the 2 8MB SIMMS back (have 14 days to do it). I was
wondering if anyone has tried using these successfully on a MICRONICS
486 66VLB motherboard.
