I've got a few questions about the NEC V40 processor, and I think these
would be the best boards on which to pose the questions:

   * Which Intel chip is it compatible with, if any?
   * If it is compatible with an Intel chip, how is it compatible?
      Instruction compatible, pin compatible, or both?
   * What about the recent lawsuit between Intel and NEC?  Does that
      affect the availability of the chip here, or anywhere else?
   * Are any MS-DOS computers being produced out there that use this
      chip?

Please reply via e-mail. Thanks.
