[net.micro.pc] Quadboard vs. AST

mike@LOGICON.ARPA (06/28/84)

Awhile ago I solicited you all for responses concerning my big
decision on the choice of multi-function boards.  I received quite a
few messages on the subject, and sent acknowledgements to their
authors. However, I neglected to tell you the outcome...

After deliberation, I decided on the AST Six-Pack-Plus Multi-Function
board.  Since its purchase three months ago, I have had no problems
and the IBM Diagonistics even like the thing.  What a deal.  I have
added additional memory to fill up the card (and my system) to memory
max.

One of the nice things about the 
Six-Pak+ (I don't know if this
applies to the Quadboard also) is that
if you already have max system memory
elsewhere, i.e. off the AST board,
you can still use the memory on the
AST board for RamDisk or RamSpooler
with the advantage of not eating any
user memory.

I just cajoled my father into buying
one of these thingz and it's a joy
to use.
