Has anyone out there used an expanded memory card with an AT running at 9 mHz or faster? I know that some EM boards won't function beyond 8 mHZ. Any war stories, recommendations, etc., will be appreciated. --Robert Burgin School of Library and Information Science NC Central University Durham NC 27707 "Logic is the art of going wrong with confidence." -- W.H.

It would not boot consistantly at any speed greater than 7.5Mhz, even using 100ns chips. I replaced this w/an AST Advantage! board, equipped with the daughter board (Advantage Pak! it's called).This combination boots fine at 9Mhz (determined by putting in an 18Mhz crystal).I curently run w/a Mhz Corp. TurboSwitch II set for 9.5Mhz and have had no problem w/AST board. By the way, this board is running at these speeds w/120ns chips. Hope this helps. Max S.
