I have one of American Computer and Peripheral's 386 Turbo accelerator boards.
I got it at an auction, and unfortunately it came without documentation or
software.
From what was written in BYTE (Aug, 1987) I have managed to install it,
and it runs with only a few hiccups.
Firstly - does anyone know what the 8 dip-switches do?
Is there any way to de-gate A20? (As there is on the motherboard?)
I also have problems with the floppy drive - is this caused by bios problems?

Does anyone still use these boards?  Please let me know of any favourable or
otherwise encounters with this board.
