[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Bus mastering, and Processor upgrades

bqsy1@vax5.cit.cornell.edu (09/27/90)

	Maybe someone out there can help me. I have an XT compatible
running on a passive backplane. What I am looking to do is to add a 386 or
486 processor board that has bus mastering capabilities. The backplane has
6 16 bit slots and 2 8 bit slots, so that is not really a major problem
since I am not looking for a 32-bit address line at this point.
	Does anyone know if INTEL's 386/PC supports bus mastering? Or does
anyone know of other manufacturers who make processor boards that have that
capability?
	Thanks for any information that people come up with.
