I had a chance to play with it last night in fact. One of my neighbors
purchased it and never got around to doing anything with it. He loaned it
to me for a few days to play with with an option to buy it.
It bombed on setup. I run a 386/25 with four meg of ram, AMI bios, and a
Seagate 124 meg IDE harder. Coherent doesn't like IDE or AMI I've been told
since then by their tech types. However, they've got several workarounds
and claim it will install and run as advertised.
I hope so because I'm going to give it another try and hopefully can use it
to run and read net news from one of my neighbors. Has anyone done that
before? How does rn run with Coherent?
