Can somebody clue me in on the following two questions about
math coprocessors for a 386 clone (Gateway 386/25):

	1.	I have heard of other companies besides Intel
		that produce and sell them.  Any recommendations?
		Costs?  Compatibility?

	2.	Is there any way to fool a program (e.g. CAD)
		into thinking a math coprocessor exists when it
		really doesn't?  Besides the extreme delay in
		running everything through the 386, would it
		cause any other problems?

Thanks.  E-mail replies appreciated.  Summaries available upon request.
