Re-read the posts & didn't mention all my lap info. One is an ibm 380 ed p150 80 megs (upgraded from 32) a ram. Took a chance, lenovo site sez it'll only take 48.
Other one is a compaq presario 1220 p200mmx 80 megs a ram (also upgraded from 32).

Ilook forward to an update on this!
BTW, do you have wifi working? If so, what card are you using?
MDG |
Some of these ol' laps require or only work with (~ rare) 16 bit wifi cards. I have a few setup on on 2 diff ol" laps that work great in win 98 & some have got it to work good in some pup variants (1.04, 2.01 - .13 & .14 come to mind) with the oronoco_cs driver that's been with pup for awhile. I'm still working on it in pup98 & 2.16 & haven't sorted it out yet with the ibm 380 ed & compaq presario 1220.
There's is only one card that fits the 16 bit pcmcia wifi card scenario (includes proper voltage & fit) that I know of that is still plentiful (~ 10 bucks on e-bay) - netgear ma401. A search of ma401 in pup brings up ~ 17 hits.
You're not with the MDG Co. outa Toronto maybe?

if you dload sbootmgr.dsk from here:
http://public.www.planetmirror.com/pub/slackware/slackware-9.0/rootdisks/sbootmgr.dsk
then in linux do:
dd if=sbootmgr.dsk of=/dev/fd0
or for windows, google for rawrite.exe, then you would do:
c:\rawrite sbootmgr.dsk a: |

also for your notebook of things to remember, for those odd occasions when the smb boot floppy doesn't detect your cdrom drive, write this down somewhere:
| Quote: |
occasionally i've come across it not giving the cdrom boot option, then if you bring up the sbm system menu by pressing <tab>, then select "set cdrom ports", enter "1F0,3F6" <enter>, then click "rescan all drives", and, hey presto, there's your cdrom boot option. i've used this for several pc's where the bios wasn't even aware of the cdrom drive! |
