I would like some information on coprocessors.  I keep seeing references
to a Weitek math coprocessor.  Is this equivalent to an Intel 80387?  Is
one better than the other (faster, more compatible, whatever)?  Is one
cheaper than the other?  Any personal experiences would also be appreciated!

Thanks,
