Question:
----------

    According to Radio Shack and an article in Byte Magazine,
March 1984, page 306 (West Coast Edition) the Model 2000 has
an empty socket for an Intel 80187.  Nobdy seems to know
anything about this chip - even the Intel Data Books list
the 8087 and the 80287 but not the 80187.  Can anyone tell
me if there is such a chip - certainly Radio Shack would
tell people if an 8087 would work in that socket, but no -
their position is that it is an 80187 slot and is not
available yet, but will be available someday.  When??
