I just moved from Alaska to Idaho, and gutted my old 386sx :( 
Yes, I do have the 40MB hd (Western Digital) and the 8x1meg chips. I ran a 
packet station with it for sometime. 
That will have to wait till I get my ole Aptiva E26 setup with either openbsd3.1 or 
Warp4 as a gateway for the home network. 
I have had so much fun playing with all these computers that I haven't even taken 
the time to go look for a job! ;) 
If the Aptiva is too much, I may have to use this older 486 sitting here under the 
desk. 
Hats off to you if you can get the 386 running. I think I still have the uptime log on 
the hd. I shut it down after about 67 days for some work. I was running debian 2.0 
(if I remember correctly).
