Another no-fault upgrade for original 5- or 8- slot PCs, is the hybrid Bullet motherboard, 8,10,12, or 16 Hz 80286 processor, 8-bit bus run at 4.77 MHz so you can use your old cards. Cost is about $130-190 (depending upon speed) plus 1 meg of DRAM 256K (150, 120, 100 ns, depending upon processor speed). Memory above 640 K is a dedicated ROM hardware disk cache. We did this to a 5-slot PC at work with the 10 Hz board for about $240 complete. This board is made to work with PC-only keyboards and to fit PC & XT chassis's easily. For sec- retarial work, we have not found the lack of 16-bit buss that limiting. We got ours at D.P. computing (see the Shopper, also Leo Computers). -- Michael Volow, Psychiatry, Durham VA Med Center, Durham NC 27712 919 286 0411 Ext 6933 mvolo@ecsvax.edu
