Description
This new installment in Aubrey Pilgrim's "Save a Bundle" series shows how to assemble an inexpensive 80486 computer that exceeds the power and efficiency of most minicomputers and takes full advantage of the new OS/2 operating system. Readers with existing systems will also learn how simple it is to upgrade by installing a new motherboard or using a 80486 plug in board - saving thousands of pounds in the process. Pilgrim reviews available software packages and discusses peripheral devices such as disk drives, moitors, keybords and printers - providing readers with a comprehensive list of sources for low cost components and equipment. The book also details hundreds of business and personal applications that 486 systems can perform.
