help with ancient 5wv270
Some one gave me a 5WV270.
I know squat about Compaq. I hear that typically there are proprietary parts and non-standard procedures to follow. First, the CDROM isn't recognized at DOS or Windows. Does this CDROM drive require a special driver? (It autodetects as a CDROM but there's a star in from of the CDROM, like device x : *cdrom) Second, the video TNT Vanta card defaults to 640 x 480. Does it require a special Compaq video driver to work properly? I recall that techs couldn't make it work for the original owner. |
