Hi all.

I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me about the 386slc chip brought
out by IBM.  From what I've heard it's supposed to be pin compatible with
the 386sx and includes onboard cache (~2K), instruction optimisation, etc.
I have a 16MHz 386sx and would like to know if it's possible to rip the
386sx chip out and plug this baby in.  I also have a coprocessor (although I
don't see what difference this should make, just thought I'd mention it).
Is this possible?  Is it as simple as this?

Thanks for any help.

Phil Malin.
