Are they reliable...junk...??? The reason I ask is I've been seeing them in surplus stores around here for $49.95. I've been thinking about trying to use one on an older machine (I'd rather not spend big $$$ on it!). What about an ST-605(or4??). I saw a **BUNCH** of them in a surplus store labelled 6M. I never heard of that number before. Is there such a beast?? While I'm asking crazy questions --- will PC Jr software run on a PClone?? What's the ticker inside a PC Jr -- the 8088??? ================================================================== roger rzh%freedom.llnl.gov@lll-lcc.llnl.gov Seen on a PYT's car near Walnut Creek, CA.: "sit on a happy face." ==================================================================
