A friend of mine has a clone XT with an Intel InBoard 386 card. The card has 1MB of memory installed, which is all it can hold. Some kind of daughterboard is available, but is very expensive. Does anyone know if a clone memory expansion board exists, or if memory expansion boards from any other products will work with this card? -David Hinds dhinds@popserver.stanford.edu

I'll bet, though, that the one megabyte of installed memory is thirty two or (if there's partity checking) thirty six 256Kbit chips. See if there's some way to put 1Mbit chips in instead; that'll give him four megabytes. (Since a 386 needs thirty two bit wide memory, you can't go half and half.) > -David Hinds, dhinds@popserver.stanford.edu Paul S. R.
