 I have an application running on an AT clone that is
floating point computation bound. I am currently running
on an 8mhz machine with an 80287, using MSC 5.0. What
are my options for speeding up arithmetic processing if
I stick with an AT class machine. I assume that I can go
to a 12 mhz system, and get a higher speed coprocessor, but
is there anything else, ala Weitek for the 80386?
