- Since we don't know all the details (and I'm not sure the non-TRN
- readers would want to know the horrid parts) that leaves us hanging a bit.
- Dell certainly knows about the Internet, and they have two machines on
- it for access by everyone, dell1 and dell2 .dell.com, plus incoming msgs
- to support@dell.com. Heck, my Unix box thinks of these machines as its
- source of News.
- A couple of ideas here. One is video, the 8 vs 16-bit video Bios
- parts of things, to be lobotomized to 8-bit mode to avoid offending your
- TRN board. The other is the disk controller may be involved, but without
- knowing about I'll stop right here. Disclaimer: I have no TRN, and know
- about as much about it as that too.
