PC Week for 6/25/90 announced in a front page article that Advanced
Micro Devices will begin selling their clone of the Intel 80287 10 MHz
math coprocessor DIRECT to end users for $99.

I called AMD, and they are already shipping them.  The have a
toll-free line, and accept credit cards.  Shipping/handling is
$6.00, and for some reason they are assessing (your) local sales
tax.

So far this has only been advertised locally in Austin, Texas, and
as a result of this and word of mouth, they are back ordered one
week.

The number to call is 800-888-5590.

I ordered one!
