Time-out, please.
I appreciate there are mega-minds out there, that talk TCP/IP and know protocols forwards and backwards. They can manipulate Linux like Play-Doh. That's not me, I'm an old person that knows 8-bit computers from original use. I have those skills and others, I have some training, I know what "skills" means. And so my situation, likely applies to a number of other people, who own other 8-bit or 16-bit computers, who post in or read this list. We aren't mega-minds, but we know some stuff; and we have some vintage stuff.
Guilty (except for the Mega Mind - though going from super villain to super hero might be pretty cool. yes a movie reference ;-) ).
Also, you are a mega-mind, just not on this subject. Bill's email clarifies the networking to Novel. I may have an NE2000 board and maybe a clone board he can use. I don't want to take my 386SX and convert it's drive from Linux (1.2) to DOS or Windows so I don't have a PC for him.
Oh, I don't want to make a Novell exhibit, I was suggesting someone who supported Novell in it's heyday or wishes to learn it do the exhibit because we need something new and we need to broaden the scope of the types of exhibits we present. 1989 would be 30 years ago, I'd avoid something too new because we are still generally-speaking an 80's and older-scope event. The exhibitor should try to create a Novell office environment. An office department that does CAD drawings and processing for example, wordpressing, dbase III, custom C menu interfaces, etc. b
