Just a few words of warning here: 1. 12MHZ 80286s don't exist (although Intel has said "soon"). 2. 10MHZ 80286s are about $300.00 3. This machine, when completely configured, costs as much as an 8MHZ clone. 4. Building a machine like this requires (unless you get the pre-assembled board) some equipment (logic probe, oscilliscope). 5. The fact that it uses 1MBit chips is impressive yes, but they are still $60.00 each. 6. Even if you get the board from them, you still need the IC's. They sell those extra - another $100.00 It would be a great experience if you can deal with the frustrations (if you decide to assemble it, $30.00 for the tech manual is a MUST.)

Intel isn't the only company making 80286s. I just checked my Compaq and guess who made the 80286 inside it? -- The VT220 keyboard is an <iS<o standard. That means the French can hate it as well as the Americans. <phil <ngai +1 408 749 5720 <u<uC<p: <[ucbvax,decwrl,ihnp4,allegra<]!amdcad!phil AR<pA<; amdcad!phil@decwrl.dec.com

AMD has been shipping 12.5MHz 80286s for several months. For us "soon" is 16MHz. > 2. 10MHZ 80286s are about $300.00 Semiconductor manufacturers would be in much better shape if we could get people to pay this price. Stores in this area are a bit more aggressive. mike ching standard disclaimers.

Archer (312) 254-2114 home > Chicago, IL 60632 The 1mb drams can be purchased for 32.00 and the support chips are not as expensive as you might have guessed, Iam still expecting to receive this board in the near future,,as soon as the company receives the parts list. I will summarize to the net when I get it all finished or sooner if it is a catastrophe!
