[Et tu, line-eater?] I have a PC XT Clone, 512K, 2 360k floppies, hercules mono graphics card, 135 watt power supply, and a serial card. I am thinking about replacing the motherboard with an AT-style motherboard. I am curious on what problems I might encounter, specifically: 1) Will I need to upgrade my power supply? Or can I wait until I add a hard disk? 2) Will the XT floppy controller still work in the AT board? 3) Most of the AT clone motherboards I have seen have 2 "XT-style" slots. I have 3 XT cards (the floppy controller and serial are half cards, the hercules is a full-length card). Will I be able to use them all? Or will I have to replace any of them, and which ones should I replace? If anyone has answers to these, or if there is anyone who has attempted this before, please send me mail. If there is enough interest, I will summarize the responses to the net. Thanks in advance! - Tom Frauenhofer ...!seismo!rochester!ur-tut!tfra BLOOM: You can't kill the actors! They're human beings!
