I have a Northgate 386-16 machine with 4Mb of memory, which is
woefully inadequate for my purposes.  I would like to expand it to at
least 8Mb, but have been unable to find an expansion board.  Northgate
apparently used to have such a board, but our sales representative
said they no longer sell it (seems stupid with people starting to use
OS/2, really stupid with all us UNIX people, but what do I know I just
buy the stuff).  The sales rep suggested I look in Computer Shopper,
which had myriads of AT expansion boards but I'm not too keen on
loosing the memory speed.  We found one dealer who had three kinds of
32-bit expansion boards but we could not determine which, if any,
would work in our machine.

If anyone knows where to find a 32-bit memory expansion board for the
Northgate 386 machine, please email me.  If anyone knows what the
32-bit bus used by Northgate is called, that would probably be useful
too.

Please email replies to madd@std.com or uunet!skuld!madd.

Thank you,
