Hi,

I'm considering installing a new motherboard (386DX/40) into my old 
AT-286. I'm relatively experienced with installing hardware (cards, 
floppy and hard-drives, etc.) I just thought there might be people out 
there who had some general tips on the procedure - ie. what to do/what 
not to do, handy hints and so on. The 286 casing and peripherals I want to 
use are an NEC APC IV Powermate 1, into which I've already added several 
things such as a 1.44mb 3.5" drive, 1Mb Cirrus Logic VGA card and 
SoundBlaster 16.

Thanks for any help (email preferred).

Alex.

When you are installing anew motherboard make sure none of
the unused pegs, bumps or standoffs touch the underside of
 the board!
