Heh heh. Upgrade that 8088 with a V-20 my friend! 
Anybody remember doing soldering iron fixes to Apple
II motherboards? 

Or getting an order to populate an IBM PC's 16k
motherboard to full max of 64k, or an XT to 256k
(here's a tube of chips, get crack'n!..."? 

Add an AST Multifunction I/O board and you got not
only another 384 'kay' of RAM but a parallel port, a
serial port (with room for a second if you plugged the
extra chips in!), and a bunch of goodies including
<gasp!> a BATTERY backup for the system's clock!

Oh, I am spent....

that phrase about forgetting more than the youngsters
will ever learn is starting to kick in...
