I have access at work to a real monster of an AT.  It was a 6Mhz 286 
with old bios upgraded to 8Mhz mother board with a 386 SnapIn.  It
has 4 meg ram spread across mother board and two ram cards (different
types), ega display, 10 Meg hard disk, and a Microsoft InPort mouse.
It isn't very fast but it did boot tiny BSD without a hitch.  Didn't 
find the mouse though (darn).  It also had a problem with the second 
floppy (360 old).  This is some accomplishment to boot this machine.  
Just whanted to put my plug in.
