I have acquired a 386sx Acer - nice little box. Very quiet.
It has 5MB RAM and 120Mb HDD, 1.44 FDD.
It has 2 x ISA slots so I can put a modem in one and a NE2000 compat NIC in
the other.
Which I did.
It has Win 3.11 on the HDD so I verified everything else worked, the modem I
have from another working PC.
I tried Freesco 0.26, 0.27 and 0.30 versions. First and last lock up during
boot when they get to the 'loading packages' messge.
0.27 boots well, not problem, detects modem, even can boot of the HDD
easily.
Problem is that it looks for an Ne-compat card on a PCI slot!
I can't figure out how to change the NIC driver or reconfigure it to look at
ISA instead.
Any ideas or anything else suitable I can use? That I do not have to spend
hours downloading?
