Help,
	I have inherited an old Compaq Deskpro 16 Mhz machine without
a keyboard or hard-disk. I realize that the hard-disk controller is
supposed to be Compaq propriatary. It looks like a regular IDE controller
to me. Can I plug a regular Conner IDE drive in to the thing, or do
I need a Compaq/Conner? What about the keyboard? Can I just buy a regular
AT keyboard, or do I have to scratch up a Compaq keyboard?

Thanks,
Michael
