Ha! Lots of luck getting a PS/2 (with 3.5 inch drives) to run software from a copy protected 5.25 inch disk! (He says, using a PS/2-30 as an emulated HP terminal. I *still* can't figure out why everyone else got 6310s, and I got this.) > Electronic Art Music Composer. This thing doesn't > even run on the 3270s!

It works just fine on my 6300 at home. In fact, it worked with the keyboard mouse (emulates arrow keys even *before* you load a driver, which is important for self-booting programs!) But it'd flake out after a while. Since I later had mouse-related trouble, and my keyboard no longer passes diagnostics, I think something got zapped. (Word of advice: *don't* plug or unplug the keyboard when the power's on, or plug or unplug the mouse into the keyboard. Dunno why.) > Fai Lau > SUNY at Buffalo (The Arctic Wonderland) > UUCP: ..{mit-ems|watmath|rocksanne}!sunybcs!ugfailau > BI: ugfailau@sunybcs -Paul S. R.
