I also have a card something like that. INBOARD386PC (I have it box and
all!), it goes in a XT class machine and gives you a 386sx/16 with 1mb
ram. I use it in a leading edge model D to make a nice fast sorta
turbo-xt. I've run win3.1 on it but with 1mb of ram it's real pokey and
some apps can't eb run.

It's limitation is that the board only has 1mb of ram. I'm on the lookout
for a matching memory card. There were two different piggyback memory
cards 2mb and 4mb. also anyone have a slow (16mhz) 387math co processor
(PGA package)?
