I have two questions, and one involves the title of this message.  At the
U of I, we have a COMPAC DESKPRO 286/12Mhz model 2550 with a floppy drive and
1 meg or so of memory.  We would like to put a hard drive in it and up the
memory, but we need to know if anyone has any manuals, hints, extra hardware,
or freebies they would consider telling us about.  We need all the info we can get, as we will be forced to junk it unless I can prove to the group of
students that own it that it can be turned into a good machine for some tasks.

Any help would be appreciated.


On another note, I would like to know who to contact to find out how to
interface a IBM style floppy drive to a nother type of system.  Interested
in any info you can provide on who to contact for pinouts of the connector, 
routines, etc.  I currently have some cheap 3.5 drives I would like to put in
some projects whinch have the standard IBM style connectors.
