I'd like people's opinions on the (two that I know of) TeX
implementations for the IBM PC.  I'd heard that either version
(MicroTeX or PCTeX) is painfully slow on the XT.  Now I hear
of a product called the TinyTurbo 286 board, which is supposed
to make the XT run faster than the AT.  


I'd especially like to hear experiences with a TeX on an XT using this
board, but I'll be grateful for:

A. any experiences with this board

B. any experiences with either TeX version, on either XT or AT


Thanks in advance,
