In my local computer store (yes, they exist in Sweden too) they offer
a 16/20 MHz 386SX motherboard for a good price. The 386SX isn't rated for
20MHz, but the say it works well (and I can always step down to 16MHz)...
I believe that the only thing the SX isn't capable of is to accomodate
fast 32-bit memory, due to the 16-bit external architecture. Am I right?
Virtual 8086 mode is present, and all 386 MMU features are implemented.
Still right? Are there any other disadvantages? (I can live without 32-bit
memory, but Turbo Debugging in 386 Mode is possible, eh?)
Reply by email to d88-eli@nada.kth.se, or if of general interest, post it
(who pays the "hundreds or thousands of dollars" a posting may cost according
to Pnews?).
Thanks,
