[comp.arch] 386 Unix & FP chips

lance@orc.olivetti.com (Lance Berc) (03/26/89)

System V on 386 detects which floating point chips are attached at boot
time and has the option of emulating them if they aren't present. I know
this is true of the 387 and I believe that it's also true of the Weitek.
Since the two are not at all compatible this might require two in-kernel
emulators.
