-> I remember my old 286/12 IBM clone that weighed more than a cinderblock.   
   That   
   -> old MFM drive was huge and heavy. I remember upgrading it's 1200 baud modem   
   to   
   -> 2400 baud. Man that was FAST! LOL!   
      No 300 baud?  I forget who it was that gave me a Full height MFM.   
   Either David Thomas or Mike.... Can't remember... My Uncle gave me my   
   first 300 baud modem.  I later had issues with it and went to a 1200   
   baud that had to load a .com file for its drivers to make it "hayes   
   compatible".  It was fun in a way, because you could hex-edit the   
   commands to make it have different command sets!  I wished I could find   
   the source code to the .com file!  It'd be awesome to write a series of   
   various .com files to emulate other modems...  Imagine, you load up   
   hayes.com and type in ATI it responds as a Hayes 1200 baud modem.   load   
   up USR.COM and it thinks it's a courier hst!  load up stupid.com and   
   type ATI and it responds with some TCP/IP Modem ;-)  You could really   
   have fun writing BBS software (or terminal software) that upon startup   
   it does an ATI and identifies the modem, figures out what command set   
   your using, then switches to the right init strings... If you really   
   wanted to have fun, make a new file called NonHayes.com that you set the   
   modem to auto-answer by issuing ATS255=1  and reset the modem to factory   
   settings by using ATS0=255  ... Answer the modem with ATZ, and dial with   
   AT&F.  ....    
      
   You could drive a sysop nuts trying to re-map every command from hayes   
   to your screwy set!
