	Greetings.

	I need a microprocessor with the following specifications:

	o	8-bit (16-bit would be nice)
	o	~10MHz clock
	o	ability to address 64K of RAM (more would be nice)
	o	BUILT-IN floating processor (that's the problem)
	o	CHEAP (under $40)

	I realize that the 80486 fits the above specs but not only
	is it out of my budget, it's also a pain to hack.

	Anyone? If not, I would like to use the 8086/8087/glue and
	put them on a small module that I can use as a "chip".
	I want 16 of these "chip"s to fit on one board (that's why
	I worry about space)

	Take care.

	P.S. I have yet to see a uP that does the above :-(
