[net.micro] 8087 Co-Processor

JFORREST@simtel20.arpa (03/15/86)

Is there a way to access the 8087 chip in compiled Basic? I would
appreciate any help. Have a job recomputing what-ifs and each one
is running about nine minutes, with and without the chip plugged in.

Call MicroWay in Kingston Mass.  They do more with the 8087 than anyone.
They have compiled basic support that is second to none.  The test I have
seen in PC rags indicate 40% to 80% of ASM speed....

Enjoy
