It works only in certain Tandy machines as well as the real IBM XT. It requires you to strip your memory down to 256k and I tried that by removing the soldered chips but the board failed to work and messed up my GVP HD. The SOTA worked very nicely and made the XT Bridgeboard really fly. I have sinced upgraded to the AT Bridgeboard but my old bench marks showed the SOTA 386 XT version to be quicker. ________ ______ Matthew G.
