Walking the dog this morning saw a discarded CRT type
19 inch monitor.

Seeing all sorts of brand new electronics equipment boxing
in the ajoining dumpster I figured it just might be there
as a result of upgrade and working.

Having a bad back and the thing being nearly a block away there 
it sat until afternoon when I decided to go for it.

Got it home and it works fine :-)

Now I've GOT to install that other small 340 Meg Seagate into
the Pentium, partition to save my Knoppix Linux settings
while operating Linux from the CD and ramdrive.

Guess I'll slap that Turtle Beach sound card in at the same time
removing the less than worthless software sound card - modem
POS.

I've now got three working SVGA, 2 of them 19 inch with one small one
and a VGA.
ALL FREE except the VGA I purchased used LONG ago.

Until I upgrade it's going to be one weird system.
433 Celeron with 256 Meg of RAM and 340 Meg hard drive
running Windows 3.1 and Linux 

Some time next week I think and when I yank the 486 I believe I'll
take out that motherboard NiCad as well and solder in some
pigtails to move the battery off board.

I'm still going to keep the 486 going and it'll be restored to it's
original configuration possibly with one of those ISA networking
cards Jim H. sent along to me.

I just have to remember to limit my time in doing this stuff so not as
to overdo.

Perhaps a couple of weeks to get this stuff in some semblance of order.

The hard drive is dead easy to install in the H.P. and it's
a big nothing to hook up the external hardware modem.
