I have aquired a Tangent 386/25 box that contains a Tangent mother board. For the moment, until I can save some pennies or trades for a 486 board I am attempting to use this one. I do not have any docs for this. Can some one please tell me what the various switch settings are (or give me an EMail address of tangent, if they still exist that is). The mother board is a Sonic 386 series and has 7 AT slots and one long one that could be memory, I don't know. It contains 8 30 pin simms. (8 Mbyte, I think). It has an IDE controller made, I think, by NCL (whoever they are), a western digital ethernet controller and a tangent serial / parallel card. I need the switch settings and if poss description for the motherboard and the settings for the serial card. The hard disk is a quantum prodrive 210A could someone also tell me what this is. Many thanks Robin
