Slackware 8.0 install error

[Rodney]

Gregory,
Thanks for the tip but I have no idea.  How would I go about finding
this out.  Right now Windows is still installed on the computer so could
I find that info out in the Device Manager or something?
I am going to try making new floppies first and I will post how that
works out.
Thanks.
Rodney

Do you know if this machine has a ibm microchannel bus? If it does, then
you'll need someone to cook up a speakup kernel for that architecture.
