I'm forwarding this query for a friend, PLEASE send your responses to him
at bchan@ddn-eur.ddn.mil,
 
Thank you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
I have a Gateway 33-386 with a Mironics ASIC motherboard (3/90 vintage). 
I'm planning on adding a 80387. Knowing different manufacturers have 
different ways to subdivide the system clock cycles. Does anyone know which 
version of 387 I need?
 
On a second note, I posted an inquiry about "Can Hardcard Plus co-exist
with ESDI drive?" a few weeks ago. None has responded my message so 
I'm posting it again. If you have successfully installed a Hardcard Plus 40 
with an ESDI drive, please let me know.
 
Last but not least, I need to add more SIMMs. If you have some
good/bad experiences with various memory vendors, I would like to hear from 
you. (Japan electronics [LA] advertised 70ns 1-Meg SIMM < $70/Meg at the 
back of Infoworld magazine.) 
 
Ordering stuff from the States thru' mail order can be a pain when you live
outside of the US. 
 
To save resources, please email direct and I'll summarize for the net.
 
Thanks in advance,
