A Boston area non-profit which I do volunteer work for was recently given
an original IBM PC model 5150 with 64K.  Serial Number is: 0233499.  
It will boot with DOS 1.1 but not with 3.1   I would like to be able to
boot it with 3.1 to maintain compatibility with their other machiness.
Does anyone know how to modify this machine so it can do this?

They are also looking for a donation of a memory card in order to put
the machine into use.  Any donations or suggestions would be greatly 
appreciated. They are 501(c)(3), so donations are tax deductable.
