Hi.

I have the following single item for sale. It is working just fine, but
I don't use the memory on this card anymore (see later for details), so
I am replacing with a standard serial/parallel card.

	The Card:       AST Advantage ISA card.

			3 MB memory (includes filled daughterboard -
			still fits in one slot in standard ISA).

			Two serial ports with 16450 UARTS (I will
			change both to 16550 UARTS for $10.00 extra).

			One parallel port.

			One game port.

	The price:      $100.00 plus ship/insurance/COD (if you are
			outside SF Bay area; else pick this up if you
			want).

This card is well suited for any AT or 286-clone machine (of which there
should still be plenty machines out there in use - I hope).

1. If you use a 386, be aware that the memory is on the ISA bus, and is
slower than typical memory on such machines, even though it will work
in them - I have used it in an early 386 that I had, which only allowed
8 MB on the motherboard(!).

2. The memory addressing maxes out such that you can only use this on
386/486 machines up through the 16MB location. I have more mem than
this on my new 486, so this memory on the card is a waste for me - it
is currently turned off!

So, anyway, it will be best if this card were to find a home in a PC-AT
or other 286 clone. Give me a call if you are interested.

								Z
