I'm a first time net-poster looking for anybody who has a detailed 
understanding of the IBM PC/TIPC relationship.  Appendix D of the 
MS DOS 2.1 manual sums up the software incompatability issues, but
noone, including people at TI, seems to be able to answer the hardware
questions.
   I believe TI basically pirated the IBM design and modified it enough 
to be painful, especially in the area of graphics.  However, I've had
my eye on a multi-function board (AST 384K SIX-PACK) but am not
willing to dish out the bucks on a gamble that TI had enough fore-
sightedness to leave the hardware intact.
   Has anyone been sucessful in using the IBM hardware in the TIPC?
Is there a list of hardware products that work on both machines?
I am even willing to make minor hardware changes if need be.
