I installed a NEC 8088-look-alike in my homebrew system, not because
its 7% faster (as measured) but because its CMOS and drinks less juice.
(130 ma to 30 ma).  The question is, are CMOS equivalents of the other
system chips available?  The 8284, the 8205, the 8155, etc., etc.
If anyone knows of a manufacturer of such CMOS goodies, and maybe
part #'s, please let me know via email.

	thanks
