Hey, Mark, I may have the proverbial "bridgeboard problem that can't be solved." My trusty A2088 went south some months back and after the usual fiddling (reseating board, etc.) I took it in to a local authorized tech (Milwaukee has TWO! Wow!). Well, he kept it for some months and did everything but rebuild the circuit board. Even de-soldered the chips at C='s advice. But no joy. This baby still gives me "can't find Library" messages. Of course, with new A2088s going for under 200 bucks (if you can find them) I'm not sure repairing it or replacing with a new one is cost-effective. But XT compatibility and the 8-bit slots are all I need. By the way, I asked the tech if C= would just sell me a new board, minus the floppy drive, as a replacement part. The answer was no. Geez. >>>> Ron Legro / Milwaukee via WHAP! "Wherever you go, there you are!"
