That said, the Boca board will be very slow but probably will work. I have a 386SX-16 with 2MB on the motherboard and 8MB on a BOCA board out on the ISA bus running 1.1.5. It is an old timer, having run 386BSD from the very early days. Peter -- Peter Dufault Real Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.
