This cpu has all of the not-protected mode instructions of the '286 cpu, including the enter and leave instructions I routinely compile Modula-2 source in the Logitech '286 mode and enjoy the benefits therefrom. I have not put this Oberon onto my machine, but I would expect success. The current V-20 prices in Austin are about $8.00. This chip also allows execution of Windows 2.10. -- Aubrey McIntosh / Chemistry / University of Texas / Austin, TX 78712 ..another Gaelic learner...
