S0>I think you would use the V20 to replace an 8088 and a V30 S0>for a S0>8086. These are plug in compatible, cost about $12.00 - S0>$15.00 and You are right, but be warned that some clones don't work with the V20/V30. This is because the "power on test" in the BIOS makes some timing loops, and they are too quick with the V20/V30 - so the test fails. However - you do not destory anything, so just change back if it doesn't work. Also you may get some problems with formating disks with some versions of DOS. Sorry this was not M-2, but nontheless important if you change CPU to run the program. -- uucp: uunet!m2xenix!puddle!2!502!15!Ola.Garstad Internet: Ola.Garstad@f15.n502.z2.fidonet.org
