I will soon be bringing up a system based on Compupro's CPU 286 board. I would like to get in touch with other iAPX-286 users. Jim Potter <jp@lanl>

From: Jerry E. Pournelle <POURNE@mit-mc> good luck. There have been some difficulties including chip delivery. Let me know how you are faring...

From: Paul R. Grupp <GRUPP@mit-mc> I have a friend that works at INTEL that leads me to beleave that it will take some time and LOTS of luck for them to make it work per spec!!! He works in the lab that is working on the chip and should know. --Paul

From: Edward Huang <RMS.G.EH%MIT-OZ@mit-mc> Hi,... been reading BYTE issues on the 16bit microprocessor... my current choice is the iAPX80188 which is the most versatile and most advanced chip to date. trouble is that its recent and it is packed to the Jedec 68pin style not the popular DIP type.... however, i suppose I could design a PC bd for this as this only needs 4 chips (cpu,latch, and memory which i chose to use the 6116lp-4 2kx8 CMOS ram and 2716-2 2kx8 EPROM) .... thanks, -Ed ps: your BYTE articles are great! -------

From: Jerry E. Pournelle <POURNE@mit-mc> if 286 is too long delayed, the 68000 will come into its own... or 68020. odf course theres the 16032 which is dark horse if it ever works,,
