Perhaps, but let me brag for a moment about my specially modified
PCPI Applicard. I replaced the Z-80 chip with a Z-80H, put in
90ns RAMS (or something like that), replaced the clock oscilator
chip, and put in a 20 Mhz rock. Now my PCPI runs at 10 Mhz.
It's really fun to watch my friend's faces when they watch my
CP/M turbo pascal compile. The line numbers go by too fast to
read!

If you find anyone selling a PCPI Applicard, buy it instantly!
If you have one, keep it! They will be collectors items someday,
and in the meantime, you can crank 'em as high as they'll go!

The moral is: good hardware beats bad software. :-)
