The Intel "fix" to the 287 consists of dropping support for the 386/287 altogether. I suspect this is more to "fix" sales of the 387 than for any technical issues... I understand Intel is switching over to the new 386 part in only a couple of months. All of the 386 system manufacturers who still use the 287 are going to have to dump their motherboards. May be some good fire sales out there. -- James R. Van Artsdalen ...!ut-sally!utastro!bigtex!james "Live Free or Die" Home: 512-346-2444 Work: 328-0282; 110 Wild Basin Rd. Ste #230, Austin TX 78746
