I have a Compaq Deskpro (8086) and am interested in replacing the 8086
with a NEC V30 to improve response under Xenix until I decide if I want
to plunk down a bundle and get a 286 turbo card.  I would like to know
if anybody has done this in their Deskpro, and if so, are there any
problems with operation.  Please post replies here or send e-mail.  Thanks.
