Hello from Gregg C Levine
I, as well, have stayed with this group for the same reasons. I also have
here a Compaq Portable as well.
It is a Portable III.

Now as to your Nat Semi, applications note, have you actually implemented
it? It happens I have the parts here, probably have the note as well.

Incidentally has anyone tried building the current ELKS source code using
today's Linux toolchain, and BCC?
