Our IBM XT's at work recently went down for good and have been replaced.
However, we did nothing with the old XT's and I was told I could have the
parts for free. I was wondering what I could strip from them to put into
my Amiga 500. Can I take out the RAM chips and plug them into some 0K
board? Is the power supply/fan usable as a replacement? Could I even
custom make my own bridgeboard????? (wow!) Although the last is not likely,
I would greatly appreciate any info/advice/hints on how I could divy up
those parts, since poor college students like myself can not afford all of
those neat hardware gadgets. Thanks in advance!

Ok, I want to get this thing settled. I have the C= 2058 card in my amy, at least I *think* that's what I got, I'm too lazy to open it up again. I've been told that it uses just about every chip ever manufactured. *I* think that it uses 256k x 4 DRAM's 80ns... ARE they the right ones? I really wish I had a spec sheet, but since I got it used...sigh. Can someone please e-mail me the CORRECT chips to get? thanx. -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ I will not encourage others to fly... lag@jec4.its.rpi.edu // The Amigoids from hell, |Duct tape - America's version of 'The Force' \X/ Renssepolytechnitute |Macs - A bad joke that's gone WAY too far.
