Queen of Hearts, Mosaic has outdone herself with these two links:This and This. In figuring an estimate of time, it will take us 217 years +or- 3% to digest this material where we can feel proficient with it. Talk about info overload. Whew!! This is great.

No bet. My momma didn't have no..... Anything I said would get me into trouble. Look at sweetmercy's post. Interesting - any ideas?

Intel 866mghz $239.00

It said on the list at Price Combat (one of those on Mosaic's link) it was going to be 247.00 for the 866mhz but when I went to the site, it was only $239.00 >>>retail boxed with three year Warranty.


This may be another eyeroller for bistro, but here goes.
A is my floppy
C is the one I save stuff to
D is the CDROM

Why don't I have a B drive?

Mosaic,
Are you kidding ?

Cool stuff on price QoH. Drive B is for a second floppy.

The sleeper has come forth again.

Mosaic, Where can I learn more about these codes?

[Queen_of_Hearts]

Awwwww.....I was hoping I had a place I hadn't discovered yet with a few hundred extra MB's.

hmmmmmm....wonder who writes those MSKB articles....and who the editor is !

Mosaic is correct--the B drive was the old 5.25 floppies (*sniff*...which I greatly miss...NOOOOTTTT!). After those became passe', a bunch of techies got together and pondered, "B or not B? That is the question."
If you were to install (slave) a second floppy there, it will have that drive letter.
BTW, QoH; I'm not rolling my eyes at any of your questions--just ask. No "dumb" ?'s here. (Ok, I might giggle a little, but only to myself...)

B:\ can be a floppy or a LS120 also.
Haven't chased the wiring of a Zip yet. But see them there in the stores. But, mosaic1 is correct as to original function. My 386 has one. But, have not tried to find floppies for it.

M$ is funny that way . WHOOPERS at that.

ZIP and floppy don't mix. Different animules. Don't try putting a ZIP on a floppy cable.

[Train]

What I thought and Ths LS120 has a double hookup at that.

bistro you back home yet??

Back home. Long drive; geting ready to hit the hay.

[Queen_of_Hearts]

I heard you giggling bistro.

You get home ok ? We were worried you might encounter "your #1 fan"
