	How does the 80287A math coprocessor differ from the
80287?

While we are on the subject of differneces between coprocessor chips, does any
one out in netland have any experience with the IIT versus Intel chips??  What
is the benefit other than lower power consumption & less heat??  Any real speed
change??  Just wondered...  :-)
