'micro frames' can be defined as having a floppy and/or hard drives. if no floppy, there would usually be a tape drive for program loading and archiving. if you can take some 'high res' full frame shots of internals of box, it may be possible to help you determine what you have. > I vainly googled for the information about old keyboards. as a possibly better place to search, and if box is an m68k system, you may have better luck logging http://www.linux-m68k.org/ and join group. - -- tc,hago. g . in a free world without fences, who needs gates. learn linux: 'Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition' http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz 'The Linux Documentation Project' http://www.tldp.org/ 'HowtoForge' http://howtoforge.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Red Hat - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFI/7RL+C4Bj9Rkw/wRAvzlAKDMGWzI9XR4YvdKFEkB0j3eRorkdwCeLcOz wGF2iTuEfr/YKOVQPUUNg6A= =hLbn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
