[sci.electronics] NEC V-20...

Well thanks all to those that replied to the post about the V-20 chip.  
Yes it is in the 8087 socket. The 8088 is in the proper slot.  My worries have
traveled the same pattern as a sinusoidal wave.. up and down.  I have tried to
locate the individual that I bought the system from to inquire why there
wouild be 2 u-processors would be in the machine at the same time..
Oh well I will try both chips (one at a time) to see if there are any
noticable differences.. 
Once again.. thanks for all the replies.

Perhaps this is a new parallel-processing architecture?  Your friend might
be a closet genius...
