We have decide to dispose of our AT, due to lack of use. (mainly because the thing is so un innovative and time consuming to do the most trival task compared to our mac's) However, there are some programs we still require to use. There is also a Universal system programmer, and CPU emulator, that are driven by one eight (8) bit interface card. We have decided to Buy an FX, And what we need to know, is there some sort of plug in card that will enable us to use our PC/AT software and even an 8 bit expansion card to enable us to plug in our development gear. This equipment is expensive, an its important that we get a system that can handle the requirements of it. Anyone come across a beast that could plug into our future FX and do the trick. thanks in advance steve h

It runs only in CGA mode, but can transfer data between Mac and PC. On the other hand, for the price of the card, you can buy a faster, fully configurated PC clone. You may want to keep your PC around if you really need to use the interface card. Paul Siu upsiu@mcs.drexel.edu

That is, if you really want to ditch the AT (as opposed to making it appear to be gone). >Anyone come across a beast that could plug into our future FX and do the trick. They are all just tools.
