As the title says, I have an IBM PC AT 5170 with an 8MHz 80286 CPU. I'd like to upgrade the CPU to possibily a 16MHz 286. Would this be a simple plug and play swap of the CPU, or would I be opening up a can of worms filled with BIOS upgrades, and endless chip swapping? Old hardware like this is really outside my wheelhouse. So I'm not even going to attempt the upgrade if it isn't a straight forward CPU swap.
