Hello.  I have one Zenith 16MHz 386 (DX) machine left in my lab.  It
has only the 640K RAM it was born with; I'd rather use an abacus than
pay what Zenith wants for more memory for this machine :-). I upgraded 
another such machine to a 40 MHz 386 with a replacement motherboard with
4 Mb, and that worked out real well. But at the price of desktops now 
I can just about buy another machine for the price of the motherboard 
- *especially* if I can still use my 1490 monitor.

So, what I want to do is buy another machine without monitor or floppies
and use the ones I have.  Does anyone know of any reason why I cannot
just plug the card and 1490 monitor into a new machine?  

Please reply to this newsgroup or via email.  I really appreciate any
opinions/insights/experiences anyone is willing to share!

Thank you,
