I have the opportunity to replace an older "above board ps/286" (with a 2M piggy back) in my pc (acer 1100 16Mhz running Microport Unix Sys/386 3.0e) with a newer "above board plus i/o". What i want to know is "Why should i do this?" Are there any advantages that you know of that would make it worth it for me to move all the memory chips from the ps/286 to the "plus i/o" board? Is it faster? Better? Better diagnostics?? More reliable? The only thing that i have been able to tell so far as far as differences go is that the "plus i/o" board accepts, in addition to the 2M piggy back, a 6M piggy back. This doesn't help me since i don't have a 6M piggy just lying around. If there aren't any good reasons, i should just leave sleeping dogs lie and leave the ps/286 board in place... right? derek -- Derek Terveer det@hawkmoon.MN.ORG || ..!uunet!rosevax!elric!hawkmoon!det w(612)681-6986 h(612)688-0667 "A proper king is crowned" -- Thomas B.
