I believe this is the math co-processor companion to the Cx486DLC. The 486DLC's were a hybrid 486(instructions)/386(pinout) with 1k internal cache (providing approx. 50pct. performance over a 386DX. I doubt that it would require a 486DLC and, unless it has internal cache like the 486DLC (doubtful) that it would require any special bios considerations. As I remember, early 486DLC's had problems with other FPU's, although I ran mine with a CX83D87 'fastmath' coprocessor with no problems. I say plug it in to the 387 socket and try it. Phil
