      @mcscx our first pc at home was a dual booting 286 with DOS and Xenix and turbo speed of 6Mhz or maybe 8, not sure :-)

            @ghostdancer my #Altos won't power up with the console CRT connected. That's why I'm looking out for people who know that system.

            @mcscx that's a beauty,let's hope you can fix it. The only 80186 cpus i have seen were in controller cards, SCSI i think.
