We have 3 PC-ElevATor cards in Apollos (3550s) and we like them pretty
well.

However, I think that the only way to get good expanded/extended memory
performance is to purchase memory daughter cards for the 386 (they cost
$1K for 2 MB, or $1.7K for 4 MB).  We don't have any of these daughter cards,
so I can't say how good the performance is.

As far as Windows 3.0, I'm told that Applied Reasoning is working on a fully-
supported Win 3.0 driver, and that it will be full-screen.  I don't know when
this will be available.

Don't count on HP/Apollo to support these cards.  Applied Reasoning provides
pretty good support (ask for Howard Marshall if you need technical help).

All in all, a pretty nice product if you need PC/Apollo integration.
