Hi Folks,
Just a general question as to whether anyone has tried 386 Xenix (or Unix)
on a machine based on the 80386sx ? What performance penalty do you suffer as
compared to an equivalently clocked 386 ? Naievete would indicate 50% on 32 bit
memory fetches but its probably less due to on chip caching and prefetching.
I only ask coz they're nice'n cheap.
Thanks
