i have been trying to upgrade from my 4.77 Mhz XT to a turbo for a year now.
finally, i got the speed i wanted.  i managed to swap an old Altos 580 i had
for an 80186 motherboard that is supposed to be XT compatible.
runs dos fine.  minix boots. i can check file systems etc. but when i hit
= to load the system it hangs.

is there a check for the processor type in there somewhere?

any help would be appreciated.

thanx in advance.  (want to try those Dhrydstones out)
