I've never seen VESA drivers for that machine.

Laptop D33/C doesn't perform SVGA graphics.

No, but you can access the ROM built-in setup in order to configure
the machine.
>e) By what keypress may I get into the ROM setup ?
CNTRL+ALT+SHIFT+ CANC (keep pressed the fist three keys with the left
hand, then press CANC with the other hand)
>f) By what keypress may I switch the Turbo function and the other
ALT+CNTRL+F Key (not all the functions are active, for some functions
you have to run a program called HOTKEYS.EXE first, the program is
part of a support disk delivered with the PC)

Probably you'll find a specific keyboard driver into the same support
disk containing hotkeys.exe.

The max capacity of hard Disk you can install on this machine is
200Mb, very hard to find nowadays; you can try to install an Hard Disk
greater than 200Mb but it will work like a 200Mb one (if works).
