Hello,

I'm thinking of buying a 386 based machine, but I'd like to keep as
much as possible of the stuff in my XT. Since everybody tells me I can
forget about my RAM (EMS) and Harddisk, I was wondering if it would be
possible to have the 386 connected to the XT, with a device driver
running on the 386 which controls a RAM-disk on the XT, the harddisk
and the floppy-drives. Is there anybody who has been working on
something like this, or who has another solution? Please e-mail.
