Yes, you need an additional file. You need the file that contains the 
software driver for the 8514. It comes with the 8514, not the computer.
It goes in the autoexec, not the config.sys. I forget the name. Try
to find the 8514 diskette. If that fails, I can send the file to you
(assuming the network works!). I forget the name of the file, 
something like, just maybe, hdiload.exe?

Our nameserver is dead. I can't even ftp myself(!) without giving the
actual internet address, which is mcdonald@128.174.5.54 .
