Here's another dumb question: When I open up one of my XTs, why does
my 8088-1 have an AMD logo on it?
That's an easy one ... IBM insisted on two sources for the 8088. AMD
made an 8088 clone under license from Intel, and was the second supplier
used by IBM. Unlike the V20, it was an exact duplicate.
