I would think that buying a pc-sized 386SX with two or so megs of ram would be far cheaper - and you get a 16 bit buss. Look in the back of pc-week/infoworld for decent sys board prices. I picked up a few 286/12 boards from MCT 415/670-0633 for $125 so their 386SX prices can't be more than $300. This pricing was several months ago. The sys boards were VLSI chipset & AMI bios. a meg or two isn't that much either. If you do the sys board way you will need to figure out which cards might need replacing. SCSI should be ok, video should be ok, keyboard maybe... jamesp@world.std.com "Reality is not an industry standard"
