I have tons of 8MB modules laying around for them. Only 4 memory slots so the bigger the simms the better. The 712/80 maxes out at 128MB (4X32MB). No one has gotten the floppy to work on Debian either so don't worry about that. HP part numbers for memory: A2575-60001(or 69001) 32MB, A2576-60001(or 69001) 16MB, and there are many variations on the 8MB ones. One of them is 98236-66524. Any keyboard and any PS/2 mouse should work, but becareful about what monitors you use. Not all will work. You are better off loading the thing with an ASCII terminal and serial cable first. Good luck! derek HP harware fixer-uper.... __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? U2 on LAUNCH - Exclusive greatest hits videos http://launch.yahoo.com/u2
