Hrmm, I was afraid I'd get called on that, I meant, more correctly, that it
needed pentium level processor. after going over and checking, I was right
too, nothing less than 133mhz is required and probably won't run on a 586
overdrive on a 486 board, or if it does, would be too sluggish to be a
pleasure. It's no fun waiting for your mouse to catch up.
