I saw a '286 to '486 upgrade (must have been similar
in that respect) at a show a while back (didn't buy
it). We also know about OverDrive products. What would
happen if you pig-piled all these things in an old
8088 machines? What would happen? Cataclysmic
explosion?
Were there ever 8086 to 80286 upgrades for the few
machines that used them?
I'd like to know that... The Overdrive will run XP at 8MHz. It
would be fun to see an 8088 booting XP. : )
