|Ok. When? Where? What machines?

I suspect that I wouldn't be able to answer your questions without
disclosing proprietary information.

Consider yourself teased. :-)

|Can you really call it a '386 without legal trouble? ;-)

I'm not a spokesman for the company but my understanding is that
Intel's request for a temporary injunction was denied, however, the
matter has not come to trial so we are currently not prohibited from
using 386 but the judge could decide against us after hearing both
sides' arguments.

I guess people who want to file as "a friend of the court" could also
get their voice heard...
