This is to upgrade an old IBM PC/XT. In particular, we're interested in some things called: + Orchid Tiny Turbo 286 + Charge Card 286 + Intel 386 PC board Anybody have any experience with any of these? Can any/all of the be installed in an XT? If these things are so great, why don't people buy more of them instead of buying new machines? Can you add multiple megs of memory after one of these is installed? Any help will be greatly appreciated! NOTE: This is being posted for a friend who has no news access.
