- Nor can the stock 486... don't you realize that when you buy an IBM system such as
- the one you described, that the company has put together a system that will sell;
- they take the drive controller from company X, the drive from company Y, the
- graphics card form company Z, etc... you have not bought a stock 486; you've
- bought a PRE-CONFIGURED system; i.e. one set up FOR YOU; you have bought a card.
- therefore it is NOT part of a stock system!
