Systems, Rochester NY Lines: 11 I have heard that the difference between the 80386 and the 386SX is a matter of a couple of interal pin connections and a retail price change of something like $200. Now, all we have to do is buy up a bunch of 386SX chips, open them up and rewire the necessary pins -- think it can be done for $200 per chip? (might not be too hard for ceramic, dunno about plastic) -- - uucp: {rutgers,ames}!rochester!srs!matt Matt Goheen - - internet: matt@srs.uucp OR matt%srs.uucp@harvard.harvard.edu - - "We had some good machines, but they don't work no more." -
