The V20 is the 8088 replacement, the V30 is the 8086 replacement.
The V30 runs fine in my AT&T PC6300 under both Dos and Xenix-86.
I have had no problems with the chip - and  the MS-Windows screen updates seem
noticeably faster. (About 10-15%).  My SI is now 4.2 (after putting in Qfresh
to tighten up the refresh times).
