- Doh! I have the 3.1 disks and docs that I bought for my a2000 - I didn't
- even think of trying them. That is what I get for spur-of-the-moment buying
- habits -- I did no research on what I was getting - the deal just sounded
- good when my A2000 was dieing. I will use the money I saved _not_ buying
- the chip and look for an acelerator (and maybe a tower adapter to get
- some space back on my desktop).

- Thanks for the information
