I think you would use the V20 to replace an 8088 and a V30 for a 8086. These are plug in compatible, cost about $12.00 - $15.00 and have the 80x86 instructions! I have an NEC laptop (Not a 286!) which run programs compiled by this Oberon compiler! +------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Al Oomens (awol) | Inside every LARGE program is a | | awol@syzzle.chi.il.us | small program trying to get out | +------------------------+---------------------------------+
