 I've got an Intel Inboard card, but mounted in a 5150 with a Plus hardcard.
I've also been searching for the piggyback with no luck so far. Would adding
a 387 co-processer speed applications up significantly ? I'm also on the
lookout for an 8-bit VGA card for this set-up. I have a 16-bit card with a
switch for either 9 or 15 pin connectors. I don't suppose this would work
in the 8-bit 5150 would it ? I know some 16-bit cards will work in an 8-bit.
