Hi all, Since it seems like every other clone maker is producing a 386 machine, I was wondering if AST was planning on producing a 386 also. The reason why I'm asking is that a friend purchased a AST premium 286 model 140 and he likes the machine very much. I'm considering buying a 386 and if AST would produce 1, and it was a great machine I would consider buying one. Leon

According to an AST person I met at a large computer show today AST will be announcing a 386 system in November. -- Keith Petersen Arpa: W8SDZ@SIMTEL20.ARPA Uucp: {bellcore,decwrl,harvard,lll-crg,ucbvax,uw-beaver}!simtel20.arpa!w8sdz GEnie: W8SDZ

Not a lot of details, but there will be such a beast. Also, less than the previously mentioned few weeks ago, PC Week had a different article pre-announcing an add-on 386 card for the existing Premium 286. It's supposed to be "better" than the Inboard/386 card because it will utilize the special AST "fast-slot." The AST line has been noted in various industry rags as a clone of superior speed and quality. Let's hope they keep up the good work ... -- Sam Baxter (sam@rd.BRS.Com) BRS Information Technologies; Latham, NY 12110; 518-783-1161 { uunet!steinmetz | ihnp4! { dartvax | philabs!nyfca1 } } !brspyr1!sam "Information is Power" -- R.
