We have about 10 486/33Mhz that have no hard drive but a single floppy. Their BIOS can't handle the newer 1.2GB disks, so we were planning on converting them to X-Terminals (we can't find 500MB hard drives anymore). Does anyone have a 486/33Mhz running X? Is it very slow? They will all have at least 16MB RAM and some will have 32MB RAM. We can't do much else with them, and don't want to get the wiring layed out if it's going to be slow.... Thanks, Ben Pepa
