Very nice collection. I had a question about your 286 setup. Do you use expanded memory on it? If so, how do you make it work at 20mhz?

That's a good question. I'll have to check it out tonight, I don't even know if I have expanded enabled.

In other news, I'm thinking I might put my newly acquired Vibra16S into the Pentium rig, so the P3 rig can have the SB Live and play with sound fonts.
