[comp.sys.tandy] 1000TX math chip speed

lbach@uxh.cso.uiuc.edu (07/11/88)

I am thinking of getting an 80287 for my 1000 TX and I just want to make
sure that this machine uses this chip like IBM's, i.e.,

80287 speed = 2/3*(80286 speed)

I assume the 1000 TX behaves this way, but if anyone knows something to
the contrary I would appreciate hearing from you.

Thank you,

The 80287 used in the 1000 TX must be an 8MHZ part.
