Dear All,
I am attempting to put together a new computer (new to me that is).  I have
aquired a Tangent 386/25 box that contains a Tangent mother board.  For the
moment, until I can save some pennies or trades for a 486 board I am 
attempting to use this one.  I do not have any docs for this.  Can some one 
please tell me what the various switch settings are (or give me an EMail 
address of tangent, if they still exist that is).

The mother board is a Sonic 386 series and has 7 AT slots and one long one 
that could be memory, I don't know.  It contains 8 30 pin simms. (8 Mbyte, 
I think).

It has an IDE controller made, I think, by NCL (whoever they are), a western
digital ethernet controller and a tangent serial / parallel card.

I need the switch settings and if poss description for the motherboard and the
settings for the serial card.  The hard disk is a quantum prodrive 210A could
someone also tell me what this is.

Many thanks

Robin
