- I know that it doesn't have any compatibility problems with the Cyrix
- 486SRX2 "clip-on" CPUs; I ran it on my C= BB for a while. The only problem I
- had was that my 1.44m PC floppy drive stopped working right. Ran fine under
- just DOS 7.0, but not under Windows '95. But I assume that there are more
- than one model of Cyrix CPU out there...
