MS-269 PO Box 9090 Everett, WA 98206-9090 USA I've used both the 20 and 25 MHz versions and have no doubt that the 33 MHz would work just as well. We've seen no problems and the components group has qualified them as suitable substitutes for the intel part Pat

Are they a happy pair? I e-mailed a response but I'll post too ... I use the 33 MHz variety with a 33 MHz 386 clone and have had absolutely no problems - and I do lots of floating point intensive number crunching. I like Cyrix's evaluation programs ... "This program took 25 sec to execute; if you had been running an Intel 387, it would have taken 43 sec." Then we tried it with an Intel. "This program took 43 sec to execute; you are obviously running an Intel 387. If you had been running a Cyrix 387, it would have taken only 25 sec." Not quite verbatim, but you get the idea ... -- Mike Ressler - Infrared Photon Jockey ressler@galileo.ifa.hawaii.edu If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger sledgehammer.
