If you buy an AST card for an XT clone you better double check it before you
part with you're money.
I tried the latest AST card and it doesn't work with some XT clones.
It has a soft configuration store on an EEPROM that hates the rest of the cards
around.
The local AST dealer replaced it 3 times and then stopped selling it altogether.

Just to let you know.
