       I encountered a strange problem in trying to install a V30 chip
in a Panasonic Business Partner (FX-600).

       The machine currently has a 8086D-2 CPU. I ordered a V30 (8Mhz)
from Jameco. They advertise a Part no. UPD70116-8 which is said to replace
a 8086-2. Anyway, I get the chip and it says Sony on it, with a part
number of CXQ70116P-8 and says "Copywrite NEC". I put it in place of my
8086 and when I tried to boot the machine nothing came up on the monitor
but my "Printer" spit out "PIT count test failed"!

       What gives here ?  Did I simply receive a defective V30 (Why does
it say Sony?) or is there some incompatibility issue that I have fallen
prey to ? Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
