My reply about the suggestion to get a diagnostic disk was flagged by the moderator. This is a test to see if I am still being flagged for moderation. Bill On Fri, Sep 10, 2021 at 10:15 PM Jameel Akari via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
I have no specific tips but one anecdote: mine powered up fine without checking anything first. Popped in a DOS floppy and it booted. The keyboard cable seems to be really prone to fail (mine is crumbly) and you might want to examine that carefully for shorts first.
Once I’ve got a couple other vintage PC projects squared away I was planning to have another look at the III and make it a config/diagnostic disk, then see what I could do about a hard disk.

I’m sending a note to people on the list here that know anything about the Compaq model III Model 2660? I actually just picked one up and before I do anything I would like to get a few tips for this specific model before turning it on or plugging it in. Thanks
