I have two questions about the Olivetti M24/AT&T 6300.

  1. I was told before that a NEC v30 will replace the 8086.
     However, a friend's PC is v30 based, and he is certain it is
     a square chip.  I have examined my 8086 and it is certainly
     rectangular.  Is there some specific v30 I must order?  What's
     the part number for a rectangular v30.

  2. Does any one have experience with the Olivetti Z8000 coprocessor
     card?  What OS does it run?  What software is available for it?
     What are the costs?
