we've got a pentium100 and we've got a 386dx40. the only one that works
for me is the pentium. i think it depends on the cable you have plugged
into the comport. we have one that comes out and has the "male" part and
you put the "female" graphlink into that and it works fine. with the other
one, i have to use some adapter that comes with it and it doesn't work. i
don't care though.
