This is a posting for a friend who isn't on the net yet; please mail info to him: his path is ...seismo!mcvax!ukc!warwick!covpoly!garry. Thankyou. Kay. Does anyone have any information on a product called the Cruncher, by MEGACALC? It sits between an IBM-PC (or equiv) and an 8087, cherry- picking out some maths instructions invisibly to the software and the advert claims a speedup of 8 to 10 times a PC *with* 8087. It was advertised in CADalyst sometime towards the end of last year for a cost of $1400. Does anyone have any more information? Has anyone used it? Can it be as good as the ad claims? Does anybody know of any equivalent (faster and cheaper, maybe)? Will it work on an Olivetti M24 (== AT&T 6300)? -- "I AM; YOU ARE; HELLO: all else is poetry" ... mcvax!ukc!warwick!kay
