RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Windows Question

Did you get any disks with the 'puter? Was this a new system or did you
get it used -- the original owner may have the disks.

I don't know about IBM but sometimes the disks are labeled "System
Recovery Disks" or some such and have the manufacturers logo and not
Microsoft's.

Yeah -- the original IBM's had awesome documentation. There should be a
fair amount on the disk though. When I worked for Microsoft, I ran into
a lot of IBM hardware and although they have moved from printed
documentation to disk, they generally provide a good bit of hardware and
diagnostic info.
