- I have the following ??'s about the sota386 card
- (there are a couple of differnt products like this
- one--- note it doesn't use a slot)
- 1-does it realy turn a 286 mother board into a 386sx?
- (what about my 286 BIOS?)
- 2-will window 3.1 run in enhanced mode ?
- (will it multi task -- like the add states??)
-
- Background
- the sota is a 2" X 3" card that has a 386sx onboard.
- according to the add "simply pop out the 286 processor
- and pop in the sota card.... and you have a 386sx"
-
- Sounds to easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

- Thanks for the info
- Steve
