    WD8003 (old 8-bit) that I want it to support so that I can directly
    connect from my other computer via a TCP/IP stack (Also, if anyone can
    tell me how to set up a DOS machine for TCP/IP access I would be greatful.) Thank you in advance for all the help....

    You're wasting your time, amigo. It's like carrying a drop of water
    into the Sahara desert. We have to face the fact that the
    process of evolution doesn't necessarily guarantee improvement.


    PROGRESS (n.)

    How the internet has evolved from smart people sitting at
    dumb terminals into dumb people sitting at smart terminals.


    :p
