I'm considering upgrading my XT-clone by swapping out the motherboard for
either a 286 or 386 version.  My question is, will my current add-in
boards work in the 16-bit expansion slots?  My current set of boards in-
cludes disk controller, multi-function I/O, modem, and MIDI interface card.
Will I have to replace any on these or can I use them as is?

Also, will my existing 135W power supply be sufficient if I don't add
additional disk drives?

Thanks in advance for any help.
