For ye old line eater

Now for the good stuff:

   I recently purchased a DOS-73 board which is at the REV. B2 level,
and here are some questions related to the board.

1.  It came with Version 1.00 DOS-73 software, which appears to work OK.
    Is this the most current version one can acquire ?  What would later
    versions offer in addition to what 1.00 provides ?

2.  There are two chip locations empty, M23 and M48.  Does anyone know
    if these are important for the 8087 processor, or if their presence
    enhances the performance of the board ?

3.  Has anyone successfully improved performance in a reliable way
    using an NEC V30 replacement for the 8086-2 processor ?

4.  I would like to sync up with a PC 7300 users group.  Would you kindly
    direct me toward any that you know of ?

Thank you,
Mike Slifcak
