Most likely seems to be a 5/66 Processor Board from a ProLiant 2000/4000 - https://web.archive.org/web/19961226013452/ht … e2/plnt2_4.html Also - https://www.etiexpress.com/ProductAdv.aspx?co … at=OEM&pid=9859

That would be great! Don't know which one will work so the more I can try the better. Sorry for the delay; didn't have a suitable AGP rig to hand so had to throw one together!

Do I need the exact Mouse driver, or should a generic one work in Dos 6.22 (for playing Lemmings!!!) and Windows 3.1? In laptops at the time did they use a common input device or would Texas have made their …

See one other post online related to the COMMAND.COM renaming issue (in that case to CNMLAND.CNM) and that seems to have been caused by a 'faulty' IDE to CF adapter after using "format c: /s" - when the adapter was changed to a different one, the issue went away. https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/ …
