Hi Mit,

I'm running into problems with lots of apps I wanna run not compiling due 
to the processor...  I wanted this to be either a BBS system (sync won't 
compile) or use it with Dosemu and run some terminal programs (dosemu won't 
compile).  The person I bought this box from had OS9 loaded, and I was 
having better luck finding apps for that :)  

It's still a neat little system, and it's fun to play with .

Sam
