    A few months ago, I purchased an Intel inboard for my IBM 
compatible (PB VX-88), and I thought I'd have no problems.  However, 
my computer has a NEC V40/8088-2, not a NEC V20/8088 processor.  The 
V40 is a faster and squarer chip (it has pins goinig around all 
four sides).   The 8088 has an inline pin setup and I can't use the 
plug which came with the board to connect it.

    Does any one know of any way to connect the two.  Does anyone
know if the 8088 and V40 are compatible enough that I could just 
change the pin layout, or is the inboard out of the question?


                                     Thanks in advance,
                                        Scott Heavner
