Note that a 386 is not necesarily compatible with 486/Pentium software, as a 486DX or higher is guaranteed to have a floating-point coprocessor unit, whereas 386s and 486SXs do not always have such a unit, and consequently software emulation must be supplied. If software emulation is not supplied, they will not be compatible. -- /* Julian R Hall csusb@csv.warwick.ac.uk Flames should be redirected to /dev/null - I don't know what I'm saying myself so don't expect it to make sense all the time! */
