I'm sure this question has popped up before, but is it possible to replace a 286/10 with a faster version such as a 286/12 or a 286/16 (like that manufactured by Harris Semiconductor). I have a Hyundai 286c which has an AMD 286/10, and I have a friend who can get me the 286/12 or 286/16 at wholesale prices. This would be a cheap performance upgrade until I can muster the funds for a 386. Thanks for the help. -- John Bodnar Internet: jbodnar@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu The University of Texas at Austin UUCP: ....!cs.utexas!ut-ccwf!jbodnar

It's not quite clear what you mean. Do you mean pulling the 10mhz 286
chip out and putting at 12 or 16 mhz 286 chip in? Don't waste your
time. It won't make a bit of difference. Do you mean doing the above
and putting a faster crystal in? Well, it might work. But then
again, it might not. Depends on how the motherboard and etc was
designed. Do you mean replacing the motherboard (currently 10 mhz)
with a 12 or 16 mhz 286 motherboard? Yep, that'll do it.
