Although, I have an SX card in my AT slot, so it would do my no good. I might upgrade if CBM produces am SX or DX card, although the way Dave Haynie talks, we might see an SX card for Zorro II machines, and DX card for Zorro III. > P.S.

You won't be able to use OS/2 2.0 on a 286 machine, fro what BYTE says. > Alykhan. ************************************************************************** * -Joseph Hillenburg (Sultan of Asm) * "Those are't bugs!" * * Addresses: * "Just undesirable features!"-Me * * INET: joseph@valnet.uucp ************************************* * UUCP: ...!iuvax!valnet!joseph * Call CompSci BBS * 1-812-873-440 * * MAIL: 1709 West Gray * 3/12/24 *9:30pm-7:30amEST* * MAIL: Bloomington, Indiana ************************************* * MAIL: 47401 United States * Amiga is king, and you can't * * Mail replies requested * tell me any different! * **************************************************************************
