Now that the price of Math Co-Processors have come down, I am wondering if they make a 287 to run on a 286-16MHz board. I have looked before, but the fastest I've found is 12Mhz. If there is one, please let me know who carries them, and what they are running for. Thanks -- Tim xxwwxx@mixcom.com

This is made by Cyrix and I figure that it is a product that has just come out. They might make a -16, but it is not listed in the ad. Besides I thought that '287 chips ran at 2/3 the speed of the '286 that was connected. If this is true then a 12Mhz would do just fine. Of course this is probably board dependent. BTW, ELKCO's number is 1-800-24-ELKCO (243-5526). If you need anything more than the number look for my post on street prices for '387s. -- john gay. jgay@digi.lonestar.org Like Thoreau, I rejoice that there are owls. Part of the reason is that owls eat mice, and thus make a certain number of cats unnecessary, which is always a plus. Jeff Duntemann, Dr. Dobb's June '91
