Ed,
 Thanks for the advice on the serial and printer ports.

Mine is the system that was sold at that Chicago Fest - I bought it from
another user.

 (Update) - I have managed to get both /T2 and /T4 drivers working, had to
remove all serial ports from the boot, and load ONLY the one I plan to use.  To
use the other one, I must reboot (sometimes twice) and start over.  DEINIZ and
UNLINK don't seem to remove enough of one to let the other work.

 Printer - I am beginning to suspect my cables.  When I put the "accelerator"
68340 board in the MM/1, I discovered that I had to switch to short shielded
cables for the printer - something kinda marginal in the timing with the faster
system. Maybe a similar problem (486 has a ribbon cable on the printer port).

 GWINDOWS sounds attractive.  I couldn't quite convince myself to buy it when
you made the offer for an MM/1 port, but the MM/1 already has graphics, the 486
with OS-9000 does not.

I am presently in "Father of the Bride" mode - not a lot of extra bucks for a
couple months, but I should recover by Fall.

Thanks again for the help. John Wainwright
