We have a couple of ancient HP-150 PCs lying around (mainly bought as
terminals), and I'd like to try using one for DOS.  I realize the disk
drives are different, but can work around that.

- Are file systems the 3.5" disks compatible with the 
	current 3.5" file systems used for laptops?
- Is the system BIOS compatible?  90%?  etc?
- Is the display CGA or MDA compatible, or neither?
	(hardware-level would be nice, BIOS-level good, DOS-only boring.)
- What else should I know?
