I've a couple of questions to relay for a non-netter who's the new owner of an A2000/PC XT system. He wants to know from someone who's personally experienced with dropping a NEC V-20 into the 8088 socket on the XT card. First, does this work? Any compatibility problems? Any limit on the speed of the V-20 since they have ones from 8mhz to 10 or 12? Second, by what margin does this cpu swap actually speed up XT software execution? Additionally, does anyone have experience with dropping a Sota 286 or 386sx card into an Amiga on the XT card? Finally, what about multi-function cards? He needs that last 128k as a lot of things aren't running in 512k. Can anyone suggest a card featuring the RAM, a parallel port, a serial port, clock/calendar, and game port? Thanks. -- John M.
