Robinson (Douglas)) Organization: Foxboro Company, Inc., Foxboro, MA 02035 Lines: 22 Keywords: PC, IBM, turbo, 8088/8086/80286 8087/80287 Xref: watmath net.micro:15033 net.micro.pc:9058 I'm thinking of purchasing one of the available 'turbo' cards for the IBM-PC. I'd like to get one that would work with no problems (except maybe for timing problems with software that loops n times...). This would be for an IBM-PC/XT. I would like to continue to be able to run with A math coprocessor but I'm not choosy - if the turbo card uses the 80286 I'd like it to be capable of using the 80287. I'm soliciting comments from you who have had good/bad experience with these cards. Please * MAIL * your comments about various cards to me at the electronic address below. Thanks.
