What you're missing is that the V20/V30 are instruction-set compatible with the 188/186, they just don't have the onboard peripherals that the Intel parts have. Trust me; you can run real-mode '286 code on a V20/V30. I have done this. I _believe_ that the Hedley emulator is up to this. > -SB -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
