[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] math coprocessor for my 286

rnollman@maxzilla.encore.com (Richard Nollman) (05/03/91)

OK, now that I know I must get a math coprocessor for my 286 so that my processing time is reduced from 240 hours, AND that I can get a relatively good one
called an AMD 80C287 for $99, where can I get one.  My local IBM PC dealer
has not even heard of it.  Any suggestions?

From AMD, of course :-).  I don't have a paper address, but I'm sure you'll hear
from them.
