  I have a turbo xt clone which runs at 4.77 & 10 Mhz using the Nec
  V-20.  Of course disk i/o is still done at 4.77 but....

  I haven't had any problems except for I can't seem to get simcga
  of hgcibm to work, which could be the V-20 or the clone Herc card
  I've got.  Here's a question:  Do any of the 286/386 accellerator
  cards work with a v20?   Is it even worth my time since the disk 
  io rate would still be the same?
