So this is my question. Is the a engineer out there that could design
a daughter board so the people of the net could get the higher
clock rate out of our coprossesors.

The product is called XCELX, from Ariel Corp. However, Ariel is weird. They refused to send me specs, and they wouldn't even talk to me until I told them I work for a big company. They even treat their dealers weird. The XCELX includes an optional 80287. The 287 socket has jumpers to select the 287's clock speed. I bought mine from a really great dealer, who throws in his own utilities for setting and checking speed, and setting up yout AT in general. I think the utilities are extra cost. The dealer's name is Bob Brown, Landmark, at 408 733 4035. Highly recommended. I'm just a satisfied customer ... -- Philip Burton burton@parcvax.COM ...!hplabs!parcvax!burton Xerox Corp. preferred path: burton.osbunorth@xerox.COM 408 737 4635 ... usual disclaimers apply ...

MicroWay of Kingston MA sells a "287 turbo" board which fits in the
287 socket, running the 287 at 8 (or 10) mhz. I have used it quite
successfully in a stock AT. I have the card disconnected right now,
sans 287, and I would be very happy to part with it for some nominal
price. Make me an offer.
