Actually the 80386SX is a newer chip than the 80386DX, but that is hardly
relevant.  The chips are identical WRT software.  The differences are in
the hardware interface.

Flame retardant:  I don't mean to imply that an SX is as fast or as desirable
for unix as a DX, only that there should be no "Compatibility" problems.
