I ordered my AMD coprocessor a couple weeks ago and recently received it. It seems to work fine, no problems. It comes with a disk with some bench- mark programs on them and yes the 287 dramatically improves the run time. But I have a question for you netlanders. One of my co-workers insists that AMD is having suit brought against them by Intel for selling this chip as a bonafide 287. My buddy and supposedly Intel claim this chip uses an old version of the 287 microcode that isn't the same as the current Intel version and Intel is upset. Anybody have any info on this? Though the chip seems to work fine, enquiring minds want to know. Al Rovner Tektronix Inc. Vancouver, Wash.
