I have a V20 processor, however not installed. My keyboard doesn't like it.
With the V20 installed it seems to work fine but once in a while the keyboard
gets an hickup and switched to CAPS, or NUM-LOCK or SCROLL LOCK or thinks ALT
is depressed or RIGTH-SHIFT or CONTROL or... - to be short: it anoying and
therefor I still use the standard 8088 until I can get hold of a better (AT)
keyboard.

Oh, my V20 was also very cheap (and therefor save to try it out)

PS: Before getting flamed: This was about Oberon not generating 8088
    code. Reply's via Mail - don't clobber this newsgroup with V20
    discussions!!
