Why? a 386 should be capable to run 8088 code accordingly.

Haven't tried it yet, but it was recommended to me, when I wanted to run some old software that did not work on DOSBox.

Which?

thank you very much. I will just switch the mode to 386. The reason I did not want to do this is I was worried about speed.

Cycles.

what would be a good cycle number to use say for a 4.77 mhz 8088? Thank you very much.

There's no perfect number, but I generally run at 500 cycles to approximate XT speed. It's worked well with pretty much everything I've tried.

Thank you
