[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Upgrade Old AT to 386

james@einstein.eds.com (Robert James) (04/11/90)

I have an original IBM AT, one of the 6MHz boxes, and I would like to
upgrade it to a 386 via an expansion slot rather than replacing the
mother board.  I would appreciate any suggestions as to which upgrade
board is best for this, and any success or horror stories anyone might
have experienced on trying to do this type of upgrade...Oh yea...I have
an AST Advantage board in the machine with 1.5meg of memory on it so
what ever board I use needs to be compatible with this setup.
   
Posting or Email responses are fine...Thanks...

Latest issue of PC Resource has a sidebar about 386 accelerator cards* (??)
that replace the 286 chip. The article says that they are a bear to
install. SOTA makes one, I forget the other one. Just got the issue
of PC Resource in the mail today.
