  The 1000A has an 8087 socket. Since you are running a speed-up kit, you
should get an 8087-2, which is rated up to 8 MHz. There may also be a
jumper that you have to remove on your computer. (There was one on my SX.)
The Intel literature that came with my chip had a mention that the 1000
socket was non-standard, and to talk to Radio Shack. It works fine in my SX
with no problems. Maybe they were talking about the 1000, which had NO
socket?
