Message-ID: <216@utastro.UUCP> Date: Sat, 28-Dec-85 12:01:16 EST Article-I.D.: utastro.216 Posted: Sat Dec 28 12:01:16 1985 Date-Received: Sun, 29-Dec-85 05:39:45 EST Organization: U. Texas, Astronomy, Austin, TX Lines: 10 Xref: linus net.micro:12097 net.micro.pc:6112 I have been informed by someone that the IBM 32 bit machine does not use a 80386. But I was assured by the person I talked to from IBM that the computer will run PC software. All I can guess is that maybe it uses a 68020 running an emulation program (probably a good deal faster than an PC or XT). What's going on? John Krist U. Texas Astronomy Dept. jk@utastro.UUCP
