Sure sounds like AMD has made some significant enhancements to the
80286.  Please send me two of these miracle chips for my PC-AT's ASAP,
I've run out of time trying to get all this neat net.sources software to
fit within segments on the Intel 80286 chips in my machines.  Also, a
compatible 287 chip would be nice. 

P.S.: What S/W changes are needed to correct the segment size?
