Oldest Utility I still use (other than dos commands/etc) is DCF 5.0 (Disk Copy Fast) It's a floppy imaging program. I have bootdisks for DOS 3.3 through 6.22, and drdos 4.5, 5.1, and 6.5. IBM DOS 5.0...

DAMN.. You are good.. I looked high and low for that, nothing had the commandline options! Knew there was something about the A20 gate, but wasn't sure what it was.. (been a while)

Didn't totally...

Ok this sounds weird.. BUT I really need the commandline options for himem.sys.

Well there is a lot of Bizz that comes my way because no one else in the area can get those kinds of parts.

Hotglue is a NO NO

If you are shipping it, use IDE cables with secure ends. (little plastic olders on the connectors) Costs fifty cents more but looks a lot nicer than glue

Well next time you do it.. I'd reccamend 2 PCI cards, not a AGP mix. That can cause problems. Also First/Third PCI slots are better than 1&2.

You can run it anyway, but that combination works...

Old XT case is cool. I had a clone XT with a flip top desktop That'd be neat..

The clear cases look good.

Where/who makes/sells the coolest looking cases? (thinking of building my own)

Sometimes when I change CDs it doesn't register a change enless I go into my computer and do a refreash. (Duplicated on totally different system)

Personally I think the new Dells are so-so. A year ago they were great. Out of the box working in 5 min.

Now they are not. More than a couple problem units lately, and a couple comming with...

DELL, Compaq, IBM, HP..

ALL have great features, good service, and are as reliable as possable. Each has an advantage over the others, and each is good in it's own way.

NEVER EVER ANY WAY SHAPE...

The closest you can get easily is to rewrite the MBR, repartition, and format. Many people these days think that is low-level formatting. Older BIOS low-levels can ruin a drive.

To completely...

What model compaq is it? Older/newer? etc..
Many of the compaqs have bios upgrades, others don't. Some use standard boards, some don't. More info please..

I'm sure we all had'em from time to time. People bringing in 10 year old POS wanting to run Windows 2000/ME and all the latests stuff without buying a new one.

How do you talk them out of it, or...

Agree with Digi-Recon.

Even if it is just the power supply, most of the time the system is slower because of microscopic problems, and usually has more problems within 3-12 months.

No idea at all. Never heard of them in laptops.

One suggestion on laptops. Almost ALL brands are propriatary with there parts (logicboards, screens, internal cabling, etc.)

I agree with the above. Set up a couple TBirds on Asus with no problem.

Warranty is dependant on who you buy from, and how.

Either Intel or AMD boxed processors have good warranties. OEM you...

Memory is memory basically.

I use pricewatch and buy whatever. If there is't a big price difference I try to get NEC or Micron chips, but basically memory is memory. End users/retailers like PNY,...
