WOW! D. Baer's data on performances of various combinations of 386&387
chips - sx vs dx, etc. - are eye-opening. Perhaps our Dublin colleague ought
to go for 20-mhx 386dx plus 387 chips -- would cut costs a bit.
I still stand by my other comment, that he needs to ensure lots of
extended memory and software to access it in his networked 306 macines --
whatever they turn out to be.
