I have gotten some mail lately asking about the NEC V-Series, and have
responded to several articles posted on the net.  I hope that I have
answered your questions, but remember that I am doing so only to the
best of my ability and that these answers represent the knowledge and
opinions of an NEC employee only, and not the official views of NEC
Electronics, Inc. or of NEC Corporation.  I don't think I've gotten any
wrong yet, though :-).

One of the questions I've gotten that I haven't answered yet is re: an
8087 look-alike/act-alike.  NEC was considering doing one in the past,
which is how some of you probably heard about it, but development on
that product has been cancelled.  NEC does not have a replacement chip
for the 8087.

Disclaimer: This does not represent an official view of NEC Electronics,
Inc. or of NEC Corporation. All device names mentioned in this and other
articles are probably trademarks of someone. Lawyers stink.
