Yes, There are so many versions of the CS Laguna driver for Win3x and I have only gotten one to work in my IBM 350 running WinNT351. But I forgot which driver I used. I have not been able to get it to work again under Win3x. And even at that it was NOT totally working properly. Works fine under …

Very well! So: • 128 KB of Double Banked cache (ask the forum for details on how to find this) • CPU 486 DX2-66 MHz (DX 66 not possible, must be DX2) • Definitely 64 MB FPM RAM (2 SIMM x 32 MB) [I'd be careful going 128 MB, because some DOS games can go nuts], possibly 60 ns (found easily on eBay), …

Back in the 1990's HP had some good printers that had good support in MS-Windows. I mainly use to use HP printers. Today I use Epson Workforce and Samsung laser printers because they have good support for Apple and MS-Windows and UNIX and Linux. And they are "inexpensive". Those HP laser jets are …

They ate up a bunch of traces, which I had to rewire. Yes, I have some old mac classic logic boards that need re-caps too. …
