Message-ID: <36690013@hpfinote.HP.COM> Date: 10 Sep 90 20:56:20 GMT References: <27572@pasteur.Berkeley.EDU> Organization: Hewlett Packard CICD Lines: 20 Basically the ALL Charge Card supplements the MMU of the 286 so that the system behaves more like a 386 and can manage extended as expanded memory quickly. But your 286 machine still can't execute 386 instructions. At the price they are selling (US$299 ??), you're better off buying a 386-SX (US$399 ?) or greater motherboard to replace your 286 motherboard. Prices may have changed lately. .....
