: I've got the following questions about the system:
: 1) have there been any problems under these OS's with this system?
OS/2, SCO UNIX, DOS, WINDOWS, NETWARE and other OS's have been
throughly tested at Compaq on *all* Compaq machines.
: 2) What's EISA and how does it differ, can it get in the way?
EISA = Extended Industry Standard Architecture.
Or, real fast expansion bus.
: 3) its comes as a desk top and I wanted a tower, how hard would
: it be to pull the system out and put it into a tower?
This is not possible, as the system board will not fit
a clone chassis.
: 4) The Video card is a Qvision 2000 supports 1280x1024 256 colors
: 2meg Vram. How does this work with the above OSs, and
: is it upgradable to 4 meg?
All of the above OS's are supported to the maximum video
resolution attainable using the Qvision 2000. Yes you can
upgrade it.
: 5) The Monitor is Compaq Qvision 172 17" monitor.
: Who was the OEM and what's the refresh rate at 1280?
I don't know, don't have the specs in front of me, wait,
let me check real quick......ok....
31.5 - 82.0 Hz / 50.0 - 90 Vt.
: 6) It's got the old pentium, does this machine have a Zif socket for
: simple swapping!
That processor board uses 5 volt technology. However, you can
upgrade the processor board without having to buy a whole new
system.
