I just read in the October 29,1990, issue of Infoworld magazine that about the
first 20,000 16-MHz-386 chips made by Intel had bugs in it that caused
32-bit software to crash.  The chips were built into systems made by Compaq
Computer Corp., Advanced Logic Research, and other companies.  Owners of the
16-MHz 386 chip systems are advised to contact their dealers or manufacturers
for free replacements.
