I am in the starting phases of planning to upgrade my AST Premium/286
10MHz machine by replacing the motherboard. I currently have 2MB on my
fastcard in 256Kx100ns chips (512K are soldered) and 4MB in 1Mb DRAMS (not
being used). I would like the 386 motherboard I buy to be able to use all
(or most) of these chips. [I may be willing to forego the 256K chips].

Anyone out there in netland undertake such (or similar) project with an
AST? Their upgrade card is $1300 or so, I know I can do it in about half
that if I replace the motherboard.

Ideas? [Email please, will summarize if there's interest/volume] Much
Thanks.
