I tried once to use elks in my hp200lx but with no luck at all. hp200lx still has a lot of users, if you could boot a hp200lx with elks I guess you would have a lot of guys trying elks for sure. Unfortunately I couldn't run elks on mine, but hey it's just an idea! Good luck you all, I'll be watching you! 8) On 9/27/05, Hans wrote: > Hi Rex, > > Thanks for that, perhaps I am wrong, perhaps old hardware is the only thing > people are using ELKS for. > > Any others, Chrysostomos? you seem to be doing some development, David, > Harry? > > Unfortunately the mailing archive is still giving me a 404 so my > understanding of the ELKS "world" is just 6 people, surely there must be > more? > > Regards, > Hans. > www.ht-lab.com > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Rex Walburn" > To: > Sent: Saturday, September 24, 2005 8:43 PM > Subject: Re: Help Wanted! > > > > Hi Hans and Miguel, > > 3 months back i acquired a laptop with an 80C86 processor, and 640KB > > RAM, and tried running ELKS on it.
