Nope. My dad still uses our old Model M - Everything runs on it just
fine. As a matter of fact, they were generally much better quality than
the model D's; they had Motorola parts which were a lot more reliable
than the Diawoo (sp?) korean stuff, since Diawoo had quality control
problems in the beginning. The only problem we've had with it is the
CGA monitor's hsync went on the fritz and occasionally fails to sync 
when you start up the computer. A "mode 40" occasionally "kicks" it back
in. It's not the card since i've tried others and they seem to work ok.

We were going to sell it since my parents got a 386, but it works fine
and my dad is having problems finding a reason to get rid of it.

Hell, i might biff it and start up a bbs..
