Ok, I'll admit it.  Writing '000 and '086 in a message was a trap to
show how little you know about PC clones.

It worked.

Weeelll, lessee.  I'd be using my word processor (AmiPro for OS/2 in all
likelyhood), ray tracing a nice 800x600x24-bit image, downloading files
with zmodem or using UUCP to get my news/mail, unpacking files or my
news/mail packets, backing up changed files to tape (since OS/2 can
multitask device I/O nicely, unlike Windows), and probably a few other
neat things (like running AfterDark and some neat graphics toys like
Neko).

You still haven't said what use that DSP is going to be in any normal
applications.
