Message-ID: Nntp-Posting-Host: iear.arts.rpi.edu Organization: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy NY Distribution: usa Date: 12 Jun 91 19:32:11 GMT Lines: 16 I have acquired this 3b1 and opened it up (I tear everything I get a part to see what's in it) and I see a chip labelled as stated in the subject line: WE 882A*5. It's just below the modem part of the board and has 40 pins, all of which are gold plated. Is this the math coprocessor I hear mumblings about? Perhaps from Weitek...I dunno how Weitek labels their stuff, but given the thing has the gold plating I think it's more than just a simple controller chip of some kind. Info appreciated... Thanks, Chris -- ---------- If you cut here you'd probably ruin your monitor ------------- Christopher A. Cox I think, therefore cac@iear.arts.rpi.edu I am confused.
