Hi.
I recently acquired a Compaq Portable 386. I know its not quite old enough
for this list, but I figured there might be someone on here who knows about
what I'm looking for. My goal is to make this machine capable of modern
tasks. First, I am looking for the expansion chassis so I can add a
networking card. It currently had a QIC tape drive in the expansion slot. I
was also wondering if the 20MHz 386 could be upgraded to a 486, or perhaps
a Pentium Overdrive.
Well, you can always use a parallel-to-ethernet adapter and skip the card.
You may run into limited memory issues before anything.
