Wait a minute!
That AT&T 6300 is 8088 type machine? That would make a very poor
image scanner system for this!
Why doing downgrading from that nice 386-25 system? Beside that, 386
technology is now over 10 years now since '85 the year Intel
introduced that chip?
Well, the Targa card takes care of the scanning and "all" the computer does
is interface to the images passing through the Targa card so the 8088 should
work fine. The 386 is still too new for my blood and I want to use the
oldest computer I can find. Matter of fact, if I can get it to work on the
original 4.77 MHz IBM XT, I'll do it. I'd use the PC but I am a bit spoiled
by the use of a HD :).
