Hello Netland!

I have a question about the NEC V-20 chip.  I have read that the only
"problems" with the chip are when software accidentally puts the V-20 
into the 8080 emulation mode.  Has anyone had any problems with the V-20?

Also, is there a NEC equivalent for the 8087-2?  If so, how much does it
cost and where could I get it?


Thanks in advance.
