I was just wondering, since I had seen some talk of using 386's in AT's,
what the compatibility problems would be?  I am not really interested in
the functions of the 386 per say, just the speed increase.  Soposedly, 
Intel is coming out with a 20Mhz (whew!) 80386 chip later this year, and
I would like to drop it into me AT to make it into a fast desktop.  If I
did this, would I have any problems with existing software/hardware?
Would I be able to use software designed for the 386?  Would all the
bios routines be the same?

              Thanks in advance,
                            Robert Lord

P.S. Could someone please drop me a copy of the message of how to turn your
     AT into a 386, I seem to have lost it....
