When I installed a V20 in my PC, I found that DISKCOPY and FORMAT didn't work any more. Since it was an 8Mhz chip, I had increased the clock speed at the same time and perhaps that was the cause of the problem. In the end, the performance improvement was so negligible (5 or 10% with the standard clock speed) that I decided to put the 8088 back and buy a "PC Elevator" which is a card with an 80286 on it. The V20 with an 8Mhz clock is definitely the most bang (50% speedup) for the buck (about $25 including crystal). It just bugs me when basic utilities don't work. -- Mike Gordon (ihnp4!inmet!gordon)
