Can I use either or neither? - -Don't buy the 80C287-A for you machine! It's in a new packaging that -won't fit in your coprocessor socket!! It's a low-power cmos part that -fits in some new laptops. Thanks. Several have responded that the CMOS 287 won't fit. After finally getting ahold of P.B. Tech Support, they recommended the 80NS memory (which Sabina has for $99/Meg) and the 80287-10 coprocessor. -- Marc Ries ries@venice.sedd.trw.com (ARPA) somewhere!trwind!venice!ries (UUCP) #include
