Great. Two questions come to my mind: - Does elks somehow make use of the "new" 80186 instructions? (just out of intrest) - For the PC-D the bios was contained on the boot floppy/disc. I wasn't yet able to find docs that describe how to use that bios, or if its necessary to be used. greets Dennis Am Montag, den 15.05.2006, 09:07 -0400 schrieb Vikas Kumar: > Dennis, > Feel lucky that you have a hard drive !! > I ran ELKS on an 80C86 (8086 with CMOS) processor with a 720KB floppy > drive and 640KB RAM (my machine doesnt have a hard drive).
