It's possible that the BIOS in your system is not "V20-clean" (there are
a couple of minor differences, which are easy to avoid in your own code but
may be present in somebody else's. I'd expect those to be consistent and
reproducable, but it's possible that the interrupt latency is not quite what
something expects it to be.

Well, Ive got a system with a DTK 10 MHZ motherboard, an 8087 and a V20.
Works fine.
So I'd suggest checking to be sure that the V20 is properly installed.
Then I'd try putting back the 8088 and seeing if the errors go away. If
they do, try the v20 in another system. If it fails there too, buy a new
one.
