I' d have been home now. :-) > I'd worry more about the VGA, >which looks like it should work. Yeah, I'm now in the office just because of this reason. I'm using hiqvideo driver for this machine, which works partially. :-) I can run rio only VGA mode. When I tried 1024x768, it shows acme windows but not clearly. There is many noises, and finally it desappears. I have to read this source from now. To check graphic chips, we need another machine to recover from its failure. :-) I suppose Toshiba (probably also other companies such as NEC etc.) sells different models in Japan or in US or Europe. Then, my Tecra 720CT is not the same as that in your country, particularly FDD drive. Once upon a time, the 5" 2HD format was a defact standard also for 3.5" floppy drive, because NEC used it for their major PC. After PC got its status also in Japan, we have two kinds of 2HD format in 3.5" FD drive, one is from 5" 2HD (1.2MB) and the other is from IBM PC (1.4MB). I'll check linux sources around this, although I have only Linux for sparc in home. :-) Kenji --upas-lukdldlsefaxqmplufmdyuthnd--
