- I am doing the same thing for a client at a large engineering firm, only
- the Intel machine is a notebook. The only thing NeXT will admit to is that
- NS486 runs well with Dell and Compaq, with either the new Dell/Intel video
- card and with a C&T Wingine. The system engineer I spoke with said that
- the goal is to get NS486 to run on all popular flavors of PCs.
-
- But this is all old news. I did hear from this same engineer that it
- should be out Q2, not Q3. But then everything slips, doesn't it.
