Hello Wayne -

Odd thing is that those who decide to sell an old computer
suddenly think it's worth at least $100 regardless how old it
is. Almost easier to find someone to give one to you. I get
very annoyed at people selling old computers and the obvious
need to get at least twice what they know it is worth. :-\

WC> has 16550A UARTS and second primary IDE hard drive channel. 

Sounds good. :-)
