I have an old Acer 486DX laptop with a 200MB disk drive and I would like to press it into service for use with Gram. As far as I can see the main problem is that it does not have a soundcard, although it has a PCMCIA type III slot. Also this laptop only has Windows 3.11 and no CD-ROM drive but it does have linking facilities to my main computer. Can it be done? Is it worth it? I did see an older laptop in use with Gram at the HF Convention. -- Regards, Peter, G3LDO
