DM> > Video and sound, most likely. Font drivers?!? :-)

AM>I dunno what a font *driver* is, but if you use 'setfont' on Slackware
  >(and presumably other distros as well) you can load console screen fonts.

Driver was my term..   I guess the utility replaces the standard
DOS system font with something a little easier to read.

I assume you can change fonts easily if you go into Win 3.1
although it's so long since I've run that I'm not sure offhand
where to look. I found a little replacement for Notepad called
Super Notepad (put out by PC Magazine) that runs in Win 3.1
and can take files of any size memory can handle, adds search
and replace options and displays in any font you like. (48k)
That would be handy on these little screens for any simple
text work..  (with my poor old eyes)    B)

It's just a toy for now because I got it free. If it had
enough memory to run a decent OS, which would give me at
least E-Mail access, I'd be more excited about the whole
thing but you can't do much with 8 meg and it's apparently
(so far) pretty difficult to find these odd-ball Toshiba
88 pin flat plastic DRam memory modules cheap..
Looks like an oversized Compact Flash card from my digital
camera..
