I'm looking at getting a Compaq deskpro XL, 60mhz pentium system, with
a 2.1g SCSI with the 17" monitor
I'm intending to use OS/2, lynix, BSD and maybe a little DOS.
I've got the following questions about the system:
1) have there been any problems under these OS's with this system?
2) What's EISA and how does it differ, can it get in the way?
3) its comes as a desk top and I wanted a tower, how hard would
it be to pull the system out and put it into a tower?
4) The Video card is a Qvision 2000 supports 1280x1024 256 colors
2meg Vram. How does this work with the above OSs, and
is it upgradable to 4 meg?
5) The Monitor is Compaq Qvision 172 17" monitor.
Who was the OEM and what's the refresh rate at 1280?
6) It's got the old pentium, does this machine have a Zif socket for
simple swapping!
