[Et tu, line-eater?]

I have a PC XT Clone, 512K, 2 360k floppies, hercules mono graphics card, 135
watt power supply, and a serial card.  I am thinking about replacing the
motherboard with an AT-style motherboard.  I am curious on what problems I
might encounter, specifically:

	1) Will I need to upgrade my power supply?  Or can I wait until I add
	   a hard disk?

	2) Will the XT floppy controller still work in the AT board?

	3) Most of the AT clone motherboards I have seen have 2 "XT-style"
	   slots.  I have 3 XT cards (the floppy controller and serial are
	   half cards, the hercules is a full-length card).  Will I be able
	   to use them all?  Or will I have to replace any of them, and which
	   ones should I replace?

If anyone has answers to these, or if there is anyone who has attempted this
before, please send me mail.  If there is enough interest, I will summarize
the responses to the net.

Thanks in advance!
