A recent posting asked if the Sanyo 555 would work with the $25 network. I once owned a Sanyo 555, and I think that it is unlikely that it will work. The Sanyo is an MSDOS machine which is NOT hardware compatible with the IBM. It was a great buy when it came out before true compatibles were available, but unfortunately, compatible only in some BIOS functions. In particular, the serial port uses a different chip and port address than that used on the PC, so no IBM PC communication programs work with the Sanyo. (There exists an early version of Kermit for the Sanyo, however. If anyone is interested, I could probably locate a copy.) Dave Beeman (dbeeman@jarthur.claremont.edu)
