I'm not sure. The disks that I got look like standard MicroSlouth disks but they may have the utility files on them. (I hope!) I just went looking and it looks like I didn't get the windows disks that are supposed to come with it. I'll have to check with the seller and see if he has them. Here's what I have; MS DOS 6 Plus Enhanced Tools (3 disks), MS DOS 6.22 Setup (2 disks), MS DOS 6.22 Plus Enhanced Tools (3 disks), Winfax lite (1 disk).

I searched through all their messages and several people talked about enhancements but they didn't say anything specific.

I don't think so. The seller couldn't remember if it was installed but it's supposed to come with a manual and I didn't get the manual so I don't think it's installed. The jack is there but according to the manual the jack is installed on all of them "for cosmetic reasons". I haven't opened it up to check. I'm still trying to reformat the hard drive (LOTs of errors). I tried to run spinRite on it but it won't even recognize the drive (probably because it wasn't formatted at the time). So I'm trying to get it to format despite lots of errors, then I'll try SpinRite again. I've alreay tried to FDISK it but they didn't help. In fact, it only put about 20% of the drive in the main partition. It definitely needs a LL format IMO.
