        Does anone out there in Netland know if similar mods can be
performed on a COMPAQ ? I have a COMPAQ+ and would really be interested 
in using up one less slot if it is possible. Also, does anyone know the
source/cost of a COMPAQ technical reference manual? With my limited 
hardware experience, I can't afford to assume that the COMPAQ and IBM
mother boards are virtually identical. Any information on the above
topics or any other interesting tidbits on the care and feeding of 
COMPAQ's would be greatly appreciated.
