The warranty is the big issue indeed. It's hard to believe that NO
One has reported on one of these conversions. . . or called IBM and found
out just how much of the warranty would be eliminated, hopefully not all of
it...
And even if it was just 50% better than 486/75 it still sounds pretty good.

701C and still happy.
