I have a 286 system that I want to upgrade to a 386sx. Before I jump in and
buy a motherboard is there anything I should look out for? Ideally, I would
like to be able to drop the ram from my 286 straight into the 386sx (I know,
It might be a little slower, but funding limitations and all that). And which
BIOS should I consider?
Also, I am planning on running Minix with the 32 bit upgrades on it - has anyone
run that beastie on a 386sx? Will I have any problems? (again, aside from
speed issues)?
Thanks in advance!--
