The Intel 386 is going to impact an awful lot of us on the net, and I think it is pretty nice to get a description here and be able to direct questions to the folks that know. If you don't like the hyperbole, consider that if you had worked on the project, you might be a bit proud of it also and consider it quite an accomplishment. Finally, I think that, from what I read, the 386 corrects many of the inexcusable architectural boo-boos Intel committed on the 8086/186/286 line. Since many of us are forced to use these products by market pressure, it is great to know that in the future things will be better. So... if you don't like the posting, I suggest that in the future you hit "n" and skip it. Don't censor it on my behalf! -- John Moore (NJ7E/XE1HDO) {decvax|ihnp4|hao}!noao!terak!anasazi!john {hao!noao|decvax|ihnp4|seismo}!terak!anasazi!john (602) 952-8205 (day or evening) 5302 E.
