Um, you don't need a Pentium chip to add expansion cards to your
computer. There are slots inside it (unless it's a portable) that you
can add cards in. These slots are where you add things like sound cards
and modems. It has absolutely nothing to do with the Pentium chip. I
think the problem with some computers is the configuration of the I/O
controller, but I cannot be certain of this. The problem may be the
software. I use WTran8x because it has worked the best for me.
However, this program is a Windows (3.1) program and may not run under
WindowsNT. It runs fine from Win95 and I would assume also from Windows
3.1. WTran8x will work with the TI-82, 83, 85, and 86. For the 92, if
you have problems, I suggest using WinLink92 (Win95-only). I hope this
helps!
