Anyone out there know if AST is still offering the 386 upgrade for the Premium 286? At one time they had a 386 board (I think it was a 16 or 20 MHz snail, but that would do). I'd be inter- ested in learning more about it if anyone has had experiences. Bill ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ William W.

I called AST several weeks ago with the same question and was quoted $995 for the "Fastboard 386" which is a 16mhz board with 1 meg of 256k simms. This is more than I am currently willing to pay (read: more than I can talk my wife into!). I am beginning to suspect that It will be cheaper to simply buy a new motherboard for my system at some future time.
