I have an AST 386SX to which I want to add an internal modem and a 3.5" floppy drive. I have recently purchased one of each from local retailers thinking, "Parts is Parts". Wrong! My communication software, Commit, was never able to locate the modem. The documentation stated the modem required Windows 3.1 or 95. Is this a requirement for some modems (hardware)? Or does the packaged software require windows? The floppy drive I brought home was half the size of my case's available bay (not a real problem), had pin connectors (my date cables connect to something more closely resembling a card), and the power cable connection was of a different size than exists in my system. Are drives and modems still available for this generation of machine? Where (web sites, or general recommendations) can they be found? P.S. I am not living in the dark ages, I am only trying to get some additional use from a system that would have likely been s***-canned by my employer. Thanks for any direction. -- Martin Kniep Scottsdale, Arizona, USA It's not whether you win or lose, [log in to unmask] It's how you place the blame. [log in to unmask]
