       ...              BK>> drive, IIRC. Over the years I had that I slowly upgraded it to a       BK>> 486DX4-100 and maybe 2Gig HD. The ultimate upgrade was the Vesa       BK>> Local Bus motherboard. After that I replaced the individual       BK>> cards as I found them at a price I could afford. Eventually I       BK>> had something lik 32MB ram and all my cards VLB.               TW> This talk reminded me to see what I had left over form that        TW> day as I also had a VLB 486 machine.               TW> All my VLC cards are longt gone but I still have the CYRIX        TW> 486DLC CPU I also found soem ISA cards. A 3/4 Floppy        TW> Controller, An Combo HD-IO card and an even older XT RLL HD        TW> controller.               I probably still have some ISA cards, just don't know where. All        the VLB stuff went with the computer. I donated it to a school        electronics class.               TW> My Firxt Desktop was a Commodore 128. The First PC was a        TW> homebuilt XT with a 30 Meg Hard Drive and 512 meg memory               I started with the TRS-80 Mod 1, 4k ram 4k rom and tape backup.               My first PC was a portable, sold by some company I don't        remember. I bought the portable so I could take it to work. They        had no expansion capability, but a plug for an external        expansion bus. They never sold the external bus, couldn't get        FCC clearance. Most likely, too much interference.                            BOB KLAHN bob.klahn@sev.org http://home.toltbbs.com/bobklahn              ...
