Those who succeeded with 0.0 are definite veterans, and should be awarded the equivalent of a purple heart. As to the 287, it will work. Likewise, ancient 386 steppings (sigma sigma) will also (I have a system with both -- a joy to behold). These are not reccomended for intense use -- some of the chip bugs interact to occanisionally hang the system. However, this happened so infrequently for me that I never really cared. Bill.
