Xref: mnetor comp.sys.att:1559 comp.sys.ibm.pc:9304 From what I've been told by people at places like AST, and ORCHID etc.. is that since the 6300 is an 8086, many, if not all, of the accelerator cards will not work( I don't know why). However, the V30 is like an 80186 (apparetnly better). So you may not have a problem. I find it hard to believe that Microsoft would ignore such a huge chunk of the PC market my issuing a product that only works with a portion of the PC market.
