16-bit 8088/8086?

Could it be possible? I was talking with a friend of mine, and we somehow got on the topic of what would be a cool "custom computer" to have. My idea was either an 8088 or an 8086 with a 16-bit AT-style bus. (keep in mind that it's a theoretical idea, and not an actual project -- yet) -It would probably involve using dual processors, (and probably dual math processors) to make up for the 16-bits. -It would probably have 1 MB RAM, with 30-pin expansion slots. -Would it be possible to have CPU cache with an 8088 or 8086? -I would probably try to use the basic layout from a PC/AT motherboard, and hand wire everything (so I don't have to fool around with etching chemicals). - I'd use the 8 MHz 8086 or 8088. If this would work at all, what performance would come out of it? Would it perform like an XT, a 286, a TRS-80, or what? My final question is another slight disagreement with my friend. He says that it would be possible to piggyback (like IBM did with the early AT RAM chips) a second 8-MHz 8088 onto the existing 8088 in an XT to make it 16 MHz. I told him that I didn't think it would work. What exactly would happen if this was done? Would it run at 8 MHz? Would it run at 16 MHz, or something in-between? Would it speed up, slow down, melt down, or just fry everything? ThAnX, -- -Jason Willgruber (roblwill(a)usaor.net) ICQ#: 1730318 <http://members.tripod.com/general_1>
