<> Timings that said the 86 is faster than the 286?? That would be news to me. The 286 makes much better use of the cycles it has than does the 86. Everything is at least one clock faster; some things are *much* faster (block moves, mutiply/divide, multi-bit shifts). I would bet that a 6 mhz 286 beats an 8mhz 86. Besides, a 286 is much more fun to play with than an 86. Mike McNally ...convex!smu!mike
