Here is something WARPED.. Anybody knows of a 8087 emulator FOR the 8088 chip? Friend of mines want to run AutoCad under an 8088 and needs a math coprocessor.. <heh> Imagine the speed.. Need 8087 emulator for 8088 chip.. HELP? -- -- Robert aka Crimson Avenger (yee@rpi.edu or crimson_avenger@mts.rpi.edu) Once a hacker, always a hacker. (usere3jp@rpitsmts.bitnet)

I think a 10Mhz version sells at about $150. I never run graphics intensive programs on my XT (10Mhz), as I relegate that task to my Mac IIci, and I even find that, at times (when running Pagemaker), a little slow.

I eventually ended up taking the tasking of getting a bus mouse for her. Well, she keeps saying that she will buy a 8087 co-processor chip, been saying it for months know, she never will do it. I brought the bus mouse card for her, and paid it out of my own pockets. Her son wants to run AutoCad and it needs a math co-processor. She will l never buy a chip, unless I brought it for her. If your friend still got the program, I would be interested in seeing it. Can you uuencode it for me? Can anyone? or just give me a FTP site and the file name.
