BUT, I can buy a Mother board replacement for cheaper than a All Charge Card, especially when the CPU adapter costs $100 over and above the price of the card... And you get true 32 memory transfers and most of the replacement boards support 4 or 8MB on the board it self and upto 16Mb using a 0 wait state 32 bit slot.... Plus the clock rate runs a lot better... the All Charge Card will not work at 20Mhz (Maxes out at 16)... It only costs you 450-550 for a 20Mhz 80386 board, or 700-800 for a 25, and if you want a cache with that then add 4-600 more... > > -- > Larry Snyder, Northern Star Communications, Notre Dame, IN > uucp: root@nstar -or- ...!iuvax!ndmath!nstar!root Don't kid yourself get a REAL 386 and you won't have as many headaches Jeff Wolford uunet---+ att!iwsag!jww | att!iwsag!iwtjw!jww ucbvax--+---- att --+ iwsag!jww | decvax--+

My wife just got an ad for a 25MHz cached board for $999. Wonder if it's any good? -- bill davidsen (davidsen@crdos1.crd.GE.COM -or- uunet!crdgw1!crdos1!davidsen) "The world is filled with fools.
