So my currnet boot sequence in BIOS looks like this: 1= Floppy, 2=PCMCIA, 3=HDD1.... Is that correct?
So when I do not have my PCMCIA drive in, in theory, I shoud be able to boot into my 4MB ROM & use the JDOS via System Commander....Leaving me 2 open Slots for a Serial I/O Comm Port card & a whatever....
I have spent so much time on this it is amazing.... WIN95 was so easy on this damn thing....
WIN95,NT,DOS & LINUX was actually quite easy on my Thinkpad 380D, but this WIN95/DOS/LINUX on my PC110 is killing me & I am going nuts!!!
