Those of you wishing to purchase a 386 laptop may wish to wait a
little longer. I just read in BYTE that a NON-INTEL 386 chip has been
produced that consumes MUCH less power than a regular 386, and is
pin-for-pin,spec-for-spec compatible with the 'real thing'. The
company,if I am not mistaken, is called AMD, and they are trying to
work out the legal problems now.

Byte says that the new chip won't be much cheaper, but Intel may have to drop
its own price for it, since the new chip performs better..  Regards, -turgut
