Ben,
I thought so, too. Oh, well, not my worry. I have an XT-BB so I
can't use either. I got a whole accelerator card which has a 16 Mhz 386SX
chip on it and room for a FPU. Although it doesn't run quite as fast as a
real 16 Mhz 386SX, it's a lot faster than the XT. Unfortunately, with it
and a video card, I don't have room for much. I can't fit both a serial
card with additional RAM to bring it up to 640K and also have EMS memory.
I've ordered an Intel AboveBoard Plus I/O, which should give me the 128k to
bring conventional memory up to 640K, and then the rest of the board can be
used for both upper, extended, and/or EMS memory. It also has a serial
port and an extra parallel port. All that in one slot, which is all I have
left. Hope it works!!
