Does anybody know if the Intel inboard 386 is designed to work in this machine? I am out of expansion slots since I have a hard disk controller, and ega card, the Compaq printer interface card/floppy disk controller, a Roland MIDI card, and an AST 6 pack Plus memory expansion card in it. The obvious replacement candidate is the AST card. However, I don't want to lose my only serial port and the clock/calendar functions that are built into the AST card. So, does the Intel board have a clock/calendar and a serial port, or am I S O L? - David Sampson dsampson@x102a.harris-atd.com uunet!x102a!dsampson -- - David Sampson dsampson@x102a.harris-atd.com uunet!x102a!dsampson
