assistant: Hello All!
Don't really want to get rid of it, but am in need of something else that I
don't have the cash for.
I need a PCI 486 board that will handle the AMD 5x86, and a PCI Video Card.
(No Cirrus Logic unless it's made by a major manufacurer that I know the name
of.)
I have a Conner 3.2 GIG Tape Backup to trade for this.  Have Dos and Windows
Backup software.  Comes with the Conner 2 meg tape backup accellerator and
neccesary cables.
Will trade strait for both the 486 PCI board and PCI Video Card.  Prefer an
S3 card with 2 meg.
Unfortunantly I don't currently have a tape that can be sent with it, but it
takes a TR-3 tape.  Will write to TR-1 thru TR-3 tapes.  Will read all tapes
down to QIC-80's.
Prefer email to russell.wiley@juno.com, but can also be reached via netmail
to 1:138/323.5 or in this echo.

assistant: Hi. I am interested in the 386dx40 motherboard. I just don't have 45dollars,
though. How bout this: the motherboard for 20$ and an 8088 motherboard, a
monochrome monitor, and a 286 motherboard. Both motherboards come with
604k RAM already installed. That equals about 45$. I live in Port Moody,
and if you do, I MIGHT be able to get it. CYA!!
