[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Pre-Production Intel 386 OEM Motherboard

stretch@EMUNIX.EMICH.EDU (Brian Stretch) (08/05/90)

Okay, I've figured out a few more things about my Intel pre-production
motherboard.. okay, one thing: the 386 chip itself is bad.  Tried dropping
the CPU in a Compaq 386 (also 16Mhz) and the machine wouldn't even boot. 
Soooo... anyone know if Intel has any upgrade policies on at least the
386 chip itself?  Or am I just shit out of luck?  ("Stick with name brands,
you'll be okay.."  Yeah, riiiight..)
