Thanks in advance I've been using a T5100, 4MB RAM and a 40MB hard disk under 2.3.2 without much problem for about 4 months now. One thing that I did notice though... vidi e80x43 doesn't work. I lose the lower half of the font. A real shame since I love 43 line consoles. Also, there was mention on this board about the need to throw switch 5 in the back. I found that under DOS, some graphics apps would not work correctly unless I returned switch 5 to its normal position. You must do this * before * the boot for the change to have any effect. -- **************************************************** Eli Levine Robec Distributors rutgers!bpa!temvax!robechq!eli ****************************************************
