[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] '387 Emulator

brand@janus.Berkeley.EDU (Graham Brand) (11/15/90)

I recently noticed a '387 emulator on simtel which purports to
allow you to run any software that requires a '387 coprocessor.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Specifically, can
I run autocad version >= 9? I appreciate that I will not get the 
performance of the coprocessor but will autocad even run?

Thanks,
-Graham

It's the only 87 emulator that has worked in my 386SX so far. I
haven't tested it with AutoCAD but Matlab runs just fine with it.

I don't know about the '387 emulator (I don't have a '386), but I've
tried em87v1_3.arc (<msdos.sysutl>), and Autocad version >= 9 works
on my '286 with it.
