Thanks for the info. My 2386 is surface mounted also. Do you have to specify that you need the inverted PLCC adapter or did all of the 2386s come surface mounted. Is it necessary to use the Config.Sys files you cited for use with the IBM BL 75Mhz on the TI 50Mhz upgrade? Is Tiger the source for your IBM BL 75Mhz chip, and if so what is the approx cost and Catalog No.? I have seen prices for Evergreen 25/75Mhz triplers from $320 ACI (800) 652-7876 to $478 World Tech (800) 632-6792. The $478 price states that it is an IBM BL 75MHz chip. Are the instructions that come with the chip sufficient enough for a person with reasonable mechanical and electrical/computer skills to install? Specifically, are there any peculiarities involved in installing it on an Amiga 2386 that are different from IBM and it's clones? Thanks for the help. Mike
