Hello, Roy.  Awhile back, we were talking about - -

 JH> I'm not networked here yet (lazy), but it would've been nice, when
 JH> earlier this week I needed to transfer a 6+ MB driver file from
 JH> this machine to another.  I could have dug out the laplink cable,
 JH> but ended up just using PKZip and spanning over about 5 diskettes.

 RJT> OTOH,  I've never bothered looking at what you had to do with pkzip to
 RJT> do that...  :-)

Its like bicycle or roller skates - - after you've done it, it is easy.

 JH> Then I used "sneakernet" to transfer the files to the other
 JH> machine.  I share the laser printer between machines, but right now
 JH> I'm not even using AB or ABCD switch - - just swapping cables.

 RJT> Want a switchbox?

No thanks.  Got 'em already.  I earlier had two of them back to back so
I could send from either computer to either printer.  In moving some
things around,  I dismantled the thing,  and haven't put it back
together yet.  It makes for quite a nest of cables.  For printer
sharing, I think a LAN would be best, and I already have cards and a
CAT5 crossover cable,  but - - - - (lazy, in the absence of necessity).

 JH> OK, if it is Intel, there will be an "S-Number" on bottom and top
 JH> of it. Post that, and I'll look up if it is Standard voltage or VRE
 JH> voltage. Example - -I'm looking at a P100,  "SY007", and looking it
 JH> up, that one uses Standard Voltage.  If it is Pentium MMX, it will
 JH> be dual voltage, with 2.8v core.

 RJT> I'm beginning to wonder if that's something I need to look at here?

 RJT> Got this P200 here that I've been fighting with to try and get
 RJT> Slackware 8.1 intstalled to.  I thought I had problems with ram,  and
 RJT> have been swapping ram out to all sorts of different configurations,
 RJT> but it seems to be getting worse and worse.  It was fairly stable with
 RJT> a Slack 8.0 install and 4 4M parts in there,  but...

 RJT> OTOH,  maybe it's time to use that last (FX) board out of the pizza
 RJT> box.  

Hee.  But, BIR you've since figured out what the problem was with that
P200 box.
