Summary: V30 will fit, maybe work??



The new IBM model 30 uses a standard _socketed_ 8086, so physically it
should be a piece of cake to replace it with a V30.  I've looked at some
of the ROM BIOS diagnostic code and it also looks like the V30 would not
be blasted out of the water for having a few extra instructions and running
a bit faster.  I haven't tried it, but I would like to hear from someone
who has. . . . Does it work?
