I'll check out my disks first thing tomorrow... The disks are original disks
from Radio Shack - one says System Resources and I think the other one says
Boot Disk - but can't be sure till I check them out..

I'm sure I'll get the hang of this machine yet... Although I know NOTHING of
its configuration... I have three long plastic tubes with really huge memory
chips in them - I wouldn't even know what they are, but the guy who gave me the
stuff told me... They don't look like any SIMMS I've ever seen, but then again
I'm sure they AREN'T!..

Let's see - there IS a multipack interface in a box, but since I only have a
couple of ROM packs - LOGO and an RS232 pack I never bothered to use it yet...
I just have the cable that comes out of the disk drive sticking directly into a
disk drive controller pack...

Will this thing only use Radio Shack drives? Or can an old IBM external drive
be used?

GOD! I can't believe that I feel so useless on this thing... I guess life has
been too cushy having Macs and plug and play :-)
