I installed a NEC 8088-look-alike in my homebrew system, not because its 7% faster (as measured) but because its CMOS and drinks less juice. (130 ma to 30 ma). The question is, are CMOS equivalents of the other system chips available? The 8284, the 8205, the 8155, etc., etc. If anyone knows of a manufacturer of such CMOS goodies, and maybe part #'s, please let me know via email. thanks gordon letwin uw-beaver!microsoft!gordonl

It seems to me that Harris makes (has announced) a large portion of the 8086-8088 family in CMOS. ------------------------------- This absolutely, definitely, does not consist of an endorsement of these products, manufacturers, or anything else. ------
