I played with them in my university lab. These are MS-DOS (version 1.25) machines equipped with a "hi-res" monochrome graphic display (which is not hercules compatible), sports an 8086 design and 800K floppy drives. The floppy drive actually uses variable sector format. How would that rate as the most incompatible PC ? :-) Regards, ___o``\________________________________________________ ___ __ _ _ Peter Lim.
