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.
