My keyboard doesn't like it. With the V20 installed it seems to work fine but once in a while the keyboard gets an hickup and switched to CAPS, or NUM-LOCK or SCROLL LOCK or thinks ALT is depressed or RIGTH-SHIFT or CONTROL or... - to be short: it anoying and therefor I still use the standard 8088 until I can get hold of a better (AT) keyboard. Oh, my V20 was also very cheap (and therefor save to try it out) PS: Before getting flamed: This was about Oberon not generating 8088 code. Reply's via Mail - don't clobber this newsgroup with V20 discussions!!
