I currently have a 16Mhz 386SX clone, to which I would like to add
more memory.  The memory chips I now have are rated at 80ns.  I
want to add a memory card (such as an Intel Aboveboard) and I want
to know if 80ns chips are required on the card.  If the bus speed is
only 8Mhz, couldn't I use slower chips without inserting "arteficial"
wait-states?  I am not a h/w person, so any help would be greatly
appreciated.
