And what would you call it if you found out that they knew

elmer, The software "fix" will cause enormous overhead for interrupts 0-6, which sometimes invoke time-critical user routines. I don't think it will satisfy everyone. Intel should offer replacement chips to anyone who has their own software which relies on fast int 0-6 response.
