Well, I don't know. My school just trashed another 286 system that
they could have given to somebody (we do loan 486s to students in
need). A pretty interesting machine, to boot. It's still in the
bin, but I didn't grab it because of lack of room. I did grab the
5 keyboards they threw away, though. Speaking of my school, it has
some sort of 'modem' made by IBM. It has a brown front, and a 5.25"
floppy drive. Several membrane type buttons on the front, too. Anyone
know what it is? It connects the school attendance system to a server
downtown, and I have yet to find out what that is. Maybe they'll let
me play with it for a while if I ask :) Noone has any idea what model
it is, but everyone says it's really old.
