Since I've got PC DOS 3.3 installed on this system, it only allows me to change the width and not the number of lines with ANSI.SYS installed and the MODE command. My problem is that this system has 5.25" and 3.5" floppy drives, but the 5.25" drive is the default boot drive. The CMOS doesn't allow me to alter the boot sequence to cause the 3.5" drive to be the default -- and my 3.5" PC DOS 5 disks don't allow installation from the B drive -- unless I'm mistaken. Perhaps I can try to figure that problem out later... it's getting late, and I'll think better on a good night's rest. :-) Jerry... on his COMPAQ PORTABLE II -- #4 | My laptop computer's a ***** 14.4kbps/42MB HD/640k RAM/8 MHz | Tandy TRS-80 Model 100 Net-Tamer V 1.11.2X - Registered To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
