Actually, the V20 was designed by NEC; perhaps Zilog now makes them under a
second-source arrangement.  Note that the V20 is a replacement for the 8088;
those of you who are considering upgrading one of the later PC compatibles
which uses the 8086 would want a V30.  Like the 8088/8086, they use the same
instruction set; the difference is that the V30 has a 16-bit data bus and
the V20 is 8 bits.
