I am currently using a self-built 486DX set at 40Mhz; 16Mb RAM & an IBM
540Mb hard drive.  I have a Soundblaster16, my graphics card & I/O card
both make use of the vesa bus.  I have a Creative (Mitsumi?) CD ROM, a 3.5"
floppy & a newly-installed Iomega 250Mb tape drive.

I want to upgrade the motherboard to a -gulp- 586/120.  I need to keep to
the vesa bus architecture, to keep my current (relatively new) cards.  Is
this possible?

Any assistance gratefully received.

TIA
Peter Noble
