[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Has Ast released there 386 machine?

GTI@PSUVM.BITNET (Leon Geesey) (11/06/87)

A while back I asked to see if AST was producing a 386. At that time
I was told that AST was releasing one... but got no Specs on it. I
was wondering if they had released it yes and what the specs on it
were.

Recently announced, I believe at the Fall Comdex. AST also announced
its 386 board for its Premium/286 machines.
