Greetings!

I am planning to add a co-processor for my AT compatible and just see this
287 chip (AMD 80C287) advertised in PC Mag at ~$100, manufactured by the
Advanced Micro Devices.  This is far cheaper than an Intel 287 chip.  It is
claimed to be compatible with Intel's 80287.  My question is: is it true?
Any comments, experiences, suggestions?  Thanks a lot in advance!
