    I was delighted to hear about AMD's $99 80C287.  Finally,
semi-reasonable pricing on math coprocessors.  Image my shock when I
just priced 8087s.  Six months ago, I bought 4 of 10MHz versions for
$195 each.  Now, the best price I've seen is $205 for the 8MHz part, and
$270 for the 10MHz part.  (One guy offered $170 for the 8MHz part, but
with an 8 to 12 week wait). 

    Does anybody know where I can get 8 MHz parts for some more
reasonable price? I need 4 more, but will take as many as 6 if that's
what it takes to get the good price. 

    Thanks in advance.
