I have a shareware program called EM87 that does a pretty good job of 80x87
emulation.  It only works on a 386/387.  It runs software like a 8 Mhz 8088
on a 20 Mhz 386.  For light duty applications it is OK, but Autocad 10 will 
lock it up with not to much trouble.  Nothing really substitutes for a
coprocessor for floating point intensive applications.
