I also have a card something like that. INBOARD386PC (I have it box and
all!), it goes in a XT class machine and gives you a 386sx/16 with 1mb
ram. I use it in a leading edge model D to make a nice fast sorta
turbo-xt. I've run win3.1 on it but with 1mb of ram it's real pokey and
some apps can't eb run.
It's limitation is that the board only has 1mb of ram. I'm on the lookout
for a matching memory card. There were two different piggyback memory
cards 2mb and 4mb. also anyone have a slow (16mhz) 387math co processor
(PGA package)?

Tony,
Send me your REAL address and I'll send the info that I promised.

I have a copy of win3.0 that runs just fine (ok slow) on 8088s.

Wasn't it Manney that was looking for micro (not mini) jumper blocks for
a HD a while back? He never got back with me on that or the IEE488 card
and I haven't seen any posts from him of late. I have some if he wnats
them, just drop me a note by reg. email.

Its exacte wat I think hapened - the APPLE /// (no plus!) was
the most prominent device on the big table. I think he was the
only thing close to a PC in their eyes (An APPLE // 'tower' with
two Profile Harddisks, Monitor /// and an external Disk /// drive).
I think it will be sold on some kind of fleamarket. They also
destroyed some stuff, opened two originaly packed Atari 400,
trashed an Enterprise. They also took a prototype BTX telephone
unit an various small stuff - including almost all of my C64
and VC20 cartridges. Also one of the PETs is gone (an ordinary
4016) and, thats the funiest thing, the CRT of a Sirus - only
the CRT the computer and the stand is still available.
I'm very happy that they didn't know what was laying in front
of them - they took none of the KIMs or the other ols single
boarders, non of the real devices like SWTP or Heatkit.
My problem is that I should monitor now all major flea markts,
but I'm leaving for the VCF this saturday :(
Gruss

Even the name of the company changed over time. Don't forget
Digital Research Intergalactic!

< They won't last more than 20 years, sorry :)
Depends. The older ones may not, the later one are on far better paper
though still not low acid. That change started in the early 80s.
My introduction to programming 1972 is still doing well considering the
newsprint it's on.
< Seriously, all the DEC processor and programming paperbacks I've come
< accross are printed on highly acidic paper, almost newsprint quality.
< They can be de-acidified, if it's not too late. Check by gently
None the less if it's a thing your serious about preserving then proceed.

I looked in Radio Shack, at some step-down transformers for 'traveling
abroad'. There is a price range, with some 'for heating appliances
only' (the cheapest) and the higher priced ones allow motors, and
the $34 ones allow electronic devices. What is the difference among
these units? Also, could a transformer such as in these theoretically
be reversed and used for step-up purposes?
