I'm not sure if I shot from the lip lately or not: I told a guy that the newest Hardcard IIs - the XL model - will go in a PS2 Model 50. I thought I read that somewhere, but cannot now find the cite. Does anybody know?

As far as I know, the Model 50 is PC Bus architecture which would allow
one to use a hardcard from PLUS, manufactured for PgE+L(q 3:| #e_} Bus

Wrong, the Model 50 is MCA and this makes gettgin peripherals a little harder. :-( Robert -- | Robert L.

Thus the above mentioned Plus card would NOT work in a PS/2 Model 50. JJ
