The QuadBoard was a multi-function card for PC-XT class machines (8088 &
8086).  There were several different version of Quadboard produced but
all of them I remember had some amount of memory 384K to 512K max, 1 or
two serial ports, parallel port, game port, and real time clock.  The
only thing you needed drivers for was the clock if I remember correctly.

Actually there were version for PC-AT (80286) class machines also but I
never used one of them.
