Subject: 80186 copro backup processors

If you have an 80186 co-pro for the Master, you may
want to look at this on Ebay :

(or search for 80C186 on www.ebay.com, eBay Stores)

Cheap backup processors. I bought five and tried them
in my 80186 co-pro. All of them work fine, up to and
including loading pics in Paint under GEM, although
I haven't tested much more than that.

These are CMOS versions, which also run cooler than
the standard NMOS one, and can manage 20 MHz instead
of the standard 10, which may come in handy if you
ever fancy overclocking your co-pro.
