I never thought of that!

Seriously, can any somewhat more modern iron run a system that old?

Probably, but some of the latest peripherals such as floppy disk, the mouse, and color monitors might need drivers.

Here's a report from Germany's "Spiegel"

An unexploded 25 lb bomb was found in a back-pack. This bomb contained nails and screws to increase lethal effect. The bomb was discovered because of tones coming from a ringing cell phone that was inside the backpacks,. The cellphone wasn't connected to the explosives.

Here's the most important part, IMO, and which I have translated from "Spiegel"...

The type of explosive found is more decisive, however. According to information from "Cardena Ser", they are dealing with "Special C" which is produced in Spain. The Basque terrorist organization ETA normally doesn't use this type of explosive device, says the report. From findings of Spanish terror investigators the ETA uses mostly conventional explosives, which they have stolen from mining operations.

"Special C" is linked to terrorists in the Islamic extremeist scene.

The "Spiegel" says this information is still unconfirmed by Spanish investigators, and, therefore, their German bomb expert sources don't want to speculate on news reports.

Spanish media had been reporting that unexploded backpacks which were found had been consistent with ETA devices. Spanish authorities and international secret services are still presuming ETA is responsible, since a letter claiming responsiblity is inconclusive.

Synopsis complete...

The usual inelegant grab of links, but I have culled the best links within links for fast reference.

Thank you!
