I am looking at upgrading my existing AT&T PC6300+. That machine is a 6 MHz '286 with 1 meg on board and 1 meg of expanded/extended memory and a 80287. The problem with it is that it is NOT AT compatible, and this confuses some software. Also, I may want to run the UNIX operating system sometime in the future, and people who have done so on the + have not reported great experiences. I have heard about a motherboard replacement, but the price I have seen is in the $2000 range (+-$200 depending on speed and memory). I am looking for recommendations on either a less expensive upgrade that would fit into my existing box, or for recommendations on a '386 system. Of course, if I bought a new system, I could sell my existing one to cover part of the expense. Thanks, John Unruh
