In Apr/95, jmk@plan9.att.com posted a note about the PC-clone hardware they
use at the Labs. I have converted it to html (with the troff2html program on
forsyth's ftp site) and put it on http://www.ecf.toronto.edu/plan9/

Hopefully this should be useful to others.

Once lots of people receive their CDROMs, Please send any updates for the
draft FAQ on that page to me.
