I have a Tandy 1000 SX.  I have been doing some reading about the NEC V20.
I understand that the V20 will speed up my computer 10-40%, but has some
compatibilty problems if an MS-DOS program puts the V20 into its 8080
emulation mode.  Has anyone had any problems running a V20?  Also, does
NEC produce an 8087-2 compatible chip?

Thanks in advance.
