Well, nobody said not to, so I stuck a V20 (8Mhz) in my Rainbow, and
it does not function.  Nothing on screen.  It gets as far as spinning the
drive for that little t, but does not go on to seek the head back and
forth.
Diagnostic lights 1,2,4,6 are on.
Someone with a technical manual, please tell me, does 1-2-4-6 mean
"8088 bad", or does it mean I inadvertently fried something else?
