- Hi Darius. Going off on a tangent here. Have you encountered or foresee
- encountering any difficulties and/or problems in using the AOX MicroMaster
- with the PS/2 MCA computers (I have the 50Z-061)? As I have posted several
- postings back, I'm considering (even still) purchasing the MicroMaster
- 486SX-25 Mhz. Would you know how such an upgrade would fare against other
- comparable 486 machines? Say, a model 90 or 95 for example. Any input
- would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
