[net.micro] Need info on 'turbo' cards/options for IBM-PC

dbr@foxvax5.UUCP (D.B. Robinson ) (07/09/86)

<chomp>

I'm thinking of purchasing one of the available 'turbo' cards for the
IBM-PC.  I'd like to get one that would work with no problems (except
maybe for timing problems with software that loops n times...).  This
would be for an IBM-PC/XT.  I would like to continue to be able to run
with A math coprocessor but I'm not choosy - if the turbo card uses
the 80286 I'd like it to be capable of using the 80287.

I'm soliciting comments from you who have had good/bad experience with
these cards.  Please * MAIL * your comments about various cards to me
at the electronic address below.

Thanks.

[ If enough demand warrants, I'll post a summary ]
