My Kaypro cpu checked out.  It is a NEC V20.  I went to Radio shack and they 
ordered a comperable chip, or thought they did.  Actually, an 8086 chip was 
deleivered.  My owners manual specifications section, lists the CPU as an 8088.

My question is, will the 8086 work in place of the 8088 chip?  Or is it 
incompatible?

Help!!

Thanks,

Gary
