Hello Netlanders, recently I read a short advertisement in a newspaper, that Intel develops a special 386 with 286 pinout. That would allow AT users to exchange the old 286 with that 386special. Now some questions: -Is that true ? -If yes, does it have internal cache? That would allow to use it theoetically on faster clock speed (with a special turbo-socket). 10 MHz is quite slow -Whats the price for that nice upgrade-processor ? Thanks for any pointer Robert

I also would like information on a 386 with 286 pinouts. I have been looking for something like that for a long time now. If anyone has any information on this rumor could you send it to me too?

The April 13, 1989 issue of EDN had a design idea on page 212 how to
replace a 286 with a 386SX plus some other logic. The "other logic"
consists of three 74LS373 buffers (gee, is LS logic really fast enough?)
one 74F04 inverter ,one 16R6-12 PAL, and a 20k pull-up resistor.
I guess you could make a small plug-in print if you're a good
"do-it-yourself-er".
The author of the idea is Al Weidner from VLSI Technology, Tempe, AZ.
(I have the article right here in front of me)
