Hi Bill
I still have 2 DEC Rainbow 100B here, one has a 5MB HD, the
other has a 80MB harddisk, great machines to modify the
BIOS with. If yours still needed the boot disk, they would
have been the A models, just needed replacement BIOS's.
I still have FrameWork IV on one of them, running under
CodeBlue (IBMPC Emulator).

Shame that IBM didnt use some of the DEC or TI standards but DEC
charged, IBM didnt, that was there winning point :-)
I want answer the rest, as I'm now starting to feel OLD !
