   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.
