Yeah, I realized that shortly after posting and re-reading the posts...(sigh). Would have been fun but at least, I can use the Transporter asa RAMDisk with CGA capability :-).

I've read that Linux requires at least a 386. And, no, the V30 is notthe same as a 286, it's an enhanced version of the 8086.

Hello Apple fans,
I own an AE PC Transporter card which I pulled out of my GS to keep itcool. Not knowing what to do with a Apple-PC clone of AT(NEC V30 ='286 ?) class, I just had the weird idea of installing a minimal LINUXbox (text only, shell and basic command set). That way, I could say Irun Linux on my GS and have a floppy disk conversion station(PC-apple-Mac). Anybody tried that or am I just going nuts?
Cheers!
