I have been running my IBM xt for 3-4 years with a V-20 in it, and I have
not had a single problem.  COPYWRIT and COPYIIPC work flawlessly. (sp?)

As for its use in Turbo-XT clones (ie 8Mhz), you MUST have the 8Mhz V-20.
A friend of mine had a 4.77 in his turbo clone, and fried it (smoke and
everything!)
