I would like to see this group a "mailing list", not a "newsgroup". I don't
think a newsgroup could generate sufficient volume. Even if you expand it
to include all processor types.... In which case you'd need someone with
ALOT of CPU's laying around.

We've got 16/20mhz SX's, 20/25/33mhz 386 DX's, and a 25mhz 486. And, a
4381 System 370 machine too. But, no 68xxx or other RISC types. <Sigh>
I'd be happy to provide anyone with confirmed results on these machines.
