->  WC> The H.P. has one ISA slot occupied by an NE2000 network card.

-> I prefer the 3c509's since the ne2000's use extra cpu cycles to run them.  
They
-> work good but the 3c509's are a noticable improvement (transfer speeds 
etc.).

Hey, lucked out as it seems I HAVE one of these cards, ISA too so that
lone slot can be used instead of one of the remaining 2 PCI.

It's used and acquired some time ago so it's status is as yet unknown
but it's labeled Ethernet III 3c509B :-)              

Gets bad when you have to overlap two sets of glasses to read that small
print on the green PC board <g>

Also looked into some Linux instalation instructions from the command
line and saved them to diskette.

There's considerable life in this old H.P. hardware yet :-)
