The 8087 used in the XT 370 is heavily customized, since it uses 360
floating point formats rather than IEEE.  They may have changed its
bus interface, too, so the existence of a combination of modified 68000
and modified 8087 in the XT 370 doesn't tell us much about interfacing
the vanilla version of the chips.
