Robert, [5x speed seems reasonable for a 14-MHz '020. An 020 is to a vanilla 000 as a 386 is to a 386; 5x seems in the ballpark.] Yes, I agree with you. But you said that the 020 would be running at 7Mhz, even though it it rated at 14Mhz. It was at that point that I disagreed with you. It is pointless to run a chip below its rated speed. Also, it would not run 5x faster at the 7Mhz speed. BTW, do you mean `as a 286 is to a 386'? Paul
