Hi,
	I really have no idea why this has taken me so long, but I finally
downloaded the latest ELKS disk images and made a floppy and booted up my
XT.  First off, I found something interesting.  I have a high density
controller with it's own BIOS, as well as a SCSI controller, which seemed
to give me trouble when I left off last time.  Well, I was able to boot
without the SCSI card installed, no problem.  Then I install the
controller, and ELKS still finds my hard drive and my floppy drive type,
but it can no longer autoprobe the floppy type.  Of course booting from
floppy, I know that it still functions.  Maybe a BIOS conflict of some
sort?
	Anyway, with ELKS running, I had to pause for a minute and ask
myself why I hadn't been using it before now!  Everything looks great, the
only problem...I don't have any ELKS software!  I remember mention of a
terminal emulator, is that still around somewhere?  I'll dig around and
see what I can find, but if someone knows, that would be great.  I guess I
still need a serial card anyway, but ideally I'll use the system for
e-mail reading if nothing else!

	Dan
