very good choice. It will be totally unacceptable for software-
generated step pulses. It seems a 266 MHz pentium is the absolute
minimum there.

Thanks Jon. Just for the experience, I think I'll try to load Paul's
BDI on the 486 and see what happens. But I'll probably use the 486
exclusively for DOS based software after that.

The 486 already has Win95 loaded. Sorry. Hadn't been following the
discussions about EMC and BDI too closely, but do I need to unload
Win95 first?

Thanks again.
