installing the mathco will wont speed up anything EXCEPT for programs that USE
it. i bought an xt that had a 16 bit vga card in it. i dont know if every 16
bit vga card works in an 8bit slot, but i guess it's worth a try anyway.

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.
