I don't think I can do 10MHz though. You are incorrect when you say that if you brought your generic MS-BASIC over to the AT, that the AT would blow you away. It wouldn't. The IBM-AT is 6MHz with 1 memory wait state. Sort of like putting a V-8 400 in a Volkswagon beatle - overkill with all the extra capability going to waste. MHz for MHz, your 8086 will have the edge over the Z-100s 8088, except in system price of course. (-: Cheers, Gern -------
