Items which would be interesting: Approx. Mhz. Norton SI Landmark? Relative speed (compared to standard AT) and any other interesting means of comparison. Anyone have any incompatibility problems? How about the video portion of SoftPC? I assume EGA/CGA compatibility? Any possibility of VGA? Shawn T. Segur Hyatt Technical Center Oakbrook Terrace, IL uunet!support!sts

The Norton SI rating is between 14 and 17. But the program appears to run more slowly, because screen redisplay isn't quite there in the initial release.
