Lies, lies, lies!

Oooops, before I spout, I should ask if you have 256k cache,
and anything alse that might affect speed. (I only have 64K).

My SB-Pro works fine, except under 386MAX in Links386- I use
Himem.SYS instead for that one.  Also, some other programs 
don't seem to load in Turbo mode, but will function properly
if I select Turbo AFTER the software has loaded.

I have found that most of the problems I have had are software
related, and not hardware problems per se.  Buy, of course, since
this thing is SO F*CKING FAST, I don't care because it only takes
a few seconds to reboot, compared with 2:48 on my old PS/2.
