[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] using an old 287 on a 386DX

nan@math.ksu.edu (Nan Zou) (04/20/91)

I have an old 286 computer (8 Mhz) with a 287 math-coprocessor (also
8 Mhz, I think). I wonder if it's possible or practical to put that
287 into my new 25Mhz 386. It's been mentioned that this is possible
even though the 287 is 16-bit and the 386 32-bit. Any suggestions
appreciated.
