Message-ID: Date: 21 Feb 89 22:15:45 GMT Sender: news@silvlis.com Distribution: na Organization: edaeng Lines: 28 I wrote in a little while ago asking about information on Intel's Inboard 386 for the PC. When I found out that they wouldn't guarantee it to work with anything but True Blues and Compaqs, I lost interest. Also, it costs lotsobux. Now I'm considering buying a high-speed AT motherboard instead. The question here is: which of my equipment is going to stop working if I do this? I have: VEGA VGA card 1 floppy controller for 2 360K floppy drives 1 Western Digital RLL controller for a Seagate 238 hard disk drive 1 parallel, 2 serial, 1 joystick port 150 Watt power supply Sony Multiscan monitor I have heard that the hard disk won't make the transfer. Is this true? What about the floppies and other things? Since the hard disk represented a considerable investment, I'm loath to give it up. Any suggestions? -- Ernest W.
