Makes sense; after all, if Intel says that the board will work with very few types of PC's, they probably have a good reason for saying it. The specified machines for the 8-bit bus version (Inboard 386/PC) are: IBM PC (all models), IBM PC XT (all models except IBM PC XT/286), Compaq Portable and Portable Plus, and Tandy 1200HD. The Inboard 386/PC is *not* compatible with 8086-based computers such as the Compaq Deskpro. The Intel BBS has messages posted from people who have gotten the Inboards to work with other machines. I have my Inboard 386/PC installed in an IBM PC. Installation was simple, the documentation is good, and the performance is outstanding. Highly recommended! -=- Hal McMillan | mcmillan@io.cis.ohio-state.edu | "Open the pod bay doors, HAL". CompuServe 72627,642 |
