My current motherboard is a 25 Mhz board and I am running a 20 Mhz CPU with
a 16 Mhz math coprocessor.  The coprocessor is about 1 week old to me (I
bought it used) and the shop where I bought it at said it should be fine
on a 20 Mhz machine.  I assume that the motherboard is running at 20 Mhz
due to the CPU.  I checked my crystals on the motherboard and I have two.
On is a 40 Mhz and the other is a 50 Mhz.  Any ideas?  My manual doesn't
tell me much except what kind of cache memory I should use and what size
of SIMM modules to use, niether of which my motherboard can except.  So,
the manual is pretty much usless.

Thanks!
Greg
