I'm at the last stages of purchasing either a 486/33 or a 486/50.  One of 
the major uses of the system will be running Waffle under DOS5 (or DRDOS6), 
along with the X00 FOSSIL.  I do have a NS16550AFN on a board I'll transfer 
to the new machine.

Does anyone know of any problems with Waffle/DOS or X00 with such a fast 
machine?

You may be able to dispense with the FOSSIL.  I run Waffle at V.32
speeds on my 486-33, in a DESQview window, and do not use a FOSSIL.  I
used to, but removing it did nothing to performance, except for giving
me bigger DV windows.

So long as it's an AFN, no problems. You may trip up on a 386+ with just the
16550A (no FN) though.
