Recently, I picked up a Packard Bell PB VX88 system.  I want to install a
Connor 40 mb hard drive in it.  But since I picked the computer up for
really cheap at a bargain basement sale, it had no instructions with it
and I don't know if the BIOS is compatible.  I don't want to stick a hard
drive in this thing unless I know it's going to work.  Since we're talking
Packard Bell...I don't want to make it much of an investment.  Any thoughts
or experiences are appreciated.

The statement on a 386 being required is from DIAMOND. Not ZEOS.  The

Date: 12 Oct 92 20:45:41 GMT
Distribution: usa
Organization: Georgia Institute of Technology

I'd like to add two more floppy drives (total 4) to my Gateway 486/50.
I'm looking at a Taiwanese floppy controller card that I brought to 
put in a friend's machine, and I noticed that it could be strapped
to a secondary I/O Address (370H-377H).  Also, its onboard firmware 
can be strapped to any of 3 locations:  CA000H-CBFFFH, CC000H-CDFFFH,
or CE000H - CFFFFH.  The controller runs up to 2 drives, and the on-
board firmware understands 360K/720K/1.2M/1.44M.  Currently, I've
got a controller that runs my IDE HDD, both floppies, and the serial/
parallel ports.  Also, I've got an Archive tape drive.  

Would someone be kind enough to tell me how to get the card running?
I've tried the obvious route: install the card and try selecting it
as drive F: (D: and E: are ramdrives) but that didn't fly.  I'd sure
appreciate some help.

Thank you very much for your time!

I have been using OS/2 v2.0 on my SiS chipset 486/50 eisa for about 4 months
now with zero problems.  I really like this chipset.  Are there any REAL

I too am looking into replacing my 386/33 with a VL bus system, but I'm also
thinking about getting a local bus drive controller.  The problem is of course
SCSI, the drive sizes I'm talking about (1+ gig) don't work well with IDE,
which is the major local bus drive controller (as far as I know).  Then
again, I suppose a ISA SCSI controller is fast enough... or is it?

Anyways, I haven't seen a whole lot of vesa cards.  I believe ATI has a
fast Graphics Ultra Pro, and Diamond may have a stealth.  There are a few
generic Tseng 4000s as far as I know.  WHat I'd like is one that does
24 bit mode up to 1024x768 and perhaps even 1280x1024x24 bit.

	I have purchased a machine from V-Com.  Their sales people were
very knowlegable about their machines.  I was promised delivery in two weeks.
Two weeks later I started calling their shipping status people.  Since it
is a 1-800 number I was quite willing to wait over 1/2 hour to speak with
someone.  Unfortunatly, after a lengthy wait I usually got cut off.  After
SEVERAL days of trying I managed to speak with someone.  They said,
"You're machine is being tested right now.  We'll ship it today or tomorrow."
A week and a half later I again began to call their shipping people.  After
a few more days I got to speak with some one and I was given the exact same
line.  When I pointed out this fact I was told,
"We are so sorry!  I'll check with the technical people and we will ship
your computer today or tomorrow, next day air at our expense."
4 day later I finally received my computer.

	The first thing I did when I got my computer was to take it apart
to make sure everything was as promised.  They appear to be using quality
parts.  So the machines are good.
	However, instead of Windows 3.1 I got a note promising to ship me
my copy as soon as they have it in stock.

Even though it might cost more, I would go for the large
hard-disk, rather than 2 small ones.  The reason is that
programs are going to get larger and in 1 or 2 years
you are going to want more space (anyone want to have
a raffle on how large Word for Windows 3 is going to be -
my guess is 30Meg).

If you only have one hard disk in the PC, it is an easy matter
to add another providing they are the same brand hard-disk.

Also remember to keep/get the documentation that comes with
the hard-disk so that you don't have to randomly change
jumpers to tell it to be master or slave if/when you do 
add another hard-disk.

Anyone disagree with this?

  A local store is offering a Compudyne 486-SX/25 with an 80 meg. hard drive, high density 5.25 and 3.5 floppies, VGA card and monitor, and various software (Windows 3.1, DOS 5.0, etc.) for $1099.00.
  I'm pretty sure the price is good, but I don't know if the computer is any good.  I haven't heard anything about Compudyne.  If anyone has had any previuos experience with this particular Compudyne model or any other Compudyne, I would greatly appreciate any feedback/suggestions that you may have to offer.
  Please e-mail responses if possible to  black@rcf.rsmas.miami.edu

  Thanks a lot!!

[note Followup-To:]

I'll soon be installing a new Maxstor IDE drive in my home system, which
already has a Rodime RO3128A IDE hard drive. Unfortunately, I do not have
any documentation on the Rodime. I'm planning on making the Rodime to be
a slave to the Maxstor, but I need the jumper information to do so.

If you have any docs on the drive, please let me know.

Thanks.
