Hello Everyone,
 
Last I knew, Caroline Mack sold both packages.  The new IRUG number is
703/775-2266.  The last version of WP which ran on the 'bow was
v4.2.  Unfortunately, I don't know what the new IRUG address
is, but Caroline is in Dahlgren (sp?), VA.
 
As Always,
Paul

Frank, was the 60 meg hd a "slip it in and go" operation?
I didn't think that Rainbow would recongnize anything over 30meg.

If is a slip in, what did you you use to format and partition it?

I know where there are two DEC Rainbow computers still in the shrink
wrap if anyone is interested.  Leave a message as getting thru
to my home on the party line is impossible.
With printers also.

It worked fine once I got the jumpers set correctly.

 NL> If is a slip in, what did you you use to format and partition it?

This presents somewhat of a problem. I was running DOS 3.10.016 at the
time  and had no problem formatting and partitioning it with
WUTIL. But despite  reports to the contrary, I have been unable
to get WUTIL to operate under DOS  3.10b. So I would have to
drop back to 3.10.016 to format, then use SYS to  upgrade my
system to 3.10b.
