I got a 3Com network card on an 8 bit slot, it appeared to detect it but won't get on the local network. Windows 95 loaded but then reported that I did not have enough memory to load 95 sub-systems. It was 95B that I tried. I only have 4M of RAM (30 pin SIMMS, only has 4 SIMM slots). Anyone know where I can buy 30 pin SIMMs real cheap? 4M 30 pin 4M SIMMS should be what I am looking for. Anyone have an old junker system that wants to part with them? MS-DOS 6.22 and WFW 3.11 are installed for now, but cannot detect my other machines on the local network. I am using the same workgroup and the same data cables and hub. *Picking up the pieces of my broken life.*

I noticed that it had room on the bottom of the back of the case for ports and it says it can use "All In One" Half size motherboards. Anyone know where I can get any of these motherboards? I have another Pizzabox case and it would be cool to see if I can make a minimum sized PC with it. Like an old All In One motherboard with at least a 486DX or Pentium 1 (Or AMD K5/K6 or Cyrix 6X86) would be nice. All the case has room for is a 3.5" floppy and 3.5" hard drive. *Picking up the pieces of my broken life.*
