Greetings.  I am an XT clone owner looking to upgrade to
a 386 in some way.  The Inboard/pc looks to be the most
economical way.  My applications are such that slow 
video access doesn't bother me, but I'm worried about
the disk access.  I currently have an ST-238 and find
that quite fine, for now.  Someday, I expect to want
to move on to something larger and faster.  Will that be
possible without bagging the inboard and getting a real
386 system?  What other drawbacks are there to this
approach that will be un-overcomeable?  Advice in general?

Another appealing, although much more expensive approach
is the Hauppauge board.  Is it worth it?  Will it do
everything I've ever wanted, at least those relating to
computers?  Can I use my ST-238 in that?  Where is it
available and for how much?  Other suggestions in general?

Very much thanks in advance.  Joel K.
