I have a few questions that haven't come up in discussion, so I'll
be bold and ask them:

What differences exist in the operation of the Microsoft mouses (mice?)
between the bus version and the serial version? Is the serial version
slower? the same? I am looking to purchase the serial version for port-
ability between machines, but don't wish to sacrifice utility.

Has anyone with a V-20 processor used an 8087 with it? Do they work  
together without contention? What kind of speed advantage did you 
find?  I have become addicted to an 8 Mhz 8088/8087 but like the
idea of CP/M native code with the new patch programs.  How well do
THEY work?

Just what ARE the differences between the Everex Edge and Graphics
Edge cards other than single/multiple display capability?  I would
appreciate hearing from users of these two cards about their experiences
good/bad.

By the way, has anyone gotten Apple Turnover to work with any of the
Taiwan-made (cheapie) disk controller boards? If so, Which one(s).
Compaq owners beware - A.T. does NOT work with the Compaq.

'nuff said.  Thanks in advance for the useful information.
