Ahh!! the V20 chip. I remember that being nifty because you could drop
it into your XT computer and switch between booting MS-DOS and
CP/M. I.E. It supports 8086 and Z80 opcodes. That should get you
started! To the newbies, yes it was definitely easier dual booting a
system that ran exclusively off 360K 5.25" floppy disks.
