I loved/hated that little compaq. It was great for occasions like
needing a serial terminal or dropping onto a network to run tcpdump
(and for playing VGA Planets, I dual booted mine with
PCDOS). Particularly hated the pcmcia floppy drive and the way it
would step the cpu down to half-speed when it was present at boot. And
I still hate compaq's rompaqs and drivers.

33MHz? Must have been a later model than the one I had, I had 16MHz.
