I have a DTK 25MHz 386 machine.  The model number seems to be
KEEN-2503 or something like that.  I am trying to install a Cyrix 83D87
coprocessor.  When I place the coprocessor in the 121-pin Weitek socket
(the Cryix is supposed to be able to go in a Weitek socket or a 68-pin
80387 socket) the machine will not boot up.  The BIOS setup says that the
coprocessor option is set to autodetect.

My questions:

1.  Does anybody who has a similar DTK machine know if there are jumpers
or other settings that need to be changed when installing a coprocessor?

2.  Some computers have 2 sockets: one for a Weitek and one for a 387.  I
saw only a Weitek socket.  Is there a 387 socket hidden somewhere (under
the hard disk maybe)?

3.  Anybody know a tech support line for DTK?

TIA,
