[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] 80C287

v087mxgb@ubvmsa.cc.buffalo.edu (Shawn E Thompson) (11/03/90)

I ignorantly referred to an 80Cx87 chip as being "C for
compact". I have an IBM PC-Convertible, and called IBM
directly to ask about soldering in an NEC v20, but was
told it has a "compact 80c87, because it is a laptop"

I ASSumed that this was the naming convention. I have
been corrected, it is CMOS not COMPACT

my apologies for subscribing to the sharing of ignorance!
