AST made a dual card 286, then Orange Micro bought it from AST, improved it then made a third one on a single card. AST's maxed out at 4 meg RAM while Orange Micro's versions could take at least 12. I've not heard of a 386 NuBus card. Orange Micro went on to produce several 486 NuBus cards, at least one with a 16 bit PC Card slot in the back. Hmmm, if there's such a thing as a 16bit wireless network PC Card. ;) Some have Soundblaster compatable audio too. Only the later models have 16 or 24 bit video support. They never made a Pentium NuBus card, their first PCI card was a 486 and then they went pentium. These all used to turn up on eBay quite often, not so much these days. Orange Micro stopped making all their PC cards for Mac a year or two ago because with $299 Lindows PCs from walmart.com they couldn't compete. Any Mac owner who wants a PC too will most likely find the space to setup another box. This subject is much more on-topic for the mac-n-dos list, which has been kind of postless for a while. Join up and ask there. :) ===== "You never have to repair or replace what you leave out of the design."
