Hello, 
After several weeks of trying to get a hard disk controller to work
with a _very_ old ibm pc clone (Columbia Data Systems), I have deceided
to upgrade my motherboard from the old 8086 to one of the newer 80286
ones. I have a copy of computer shopper which has many ads for 286
motherboards, and I would like to hear of any
experiences/reccomendations/warnings that any of you might have. In
particular, I am looking for a board with 2 of the old-style XT slots
so that I can use the color card and the hd controller that I have.

Thanks
