I would like to acquire an 8087 math co-processor for my (yes, it's old)
XT-clone.  The basic speed of the computer is 4.77, but it has a 'turbo'
mode that lets it run faster.  I think this means I can't use a coprocessor
which runs at 4.77 -- does anyone out there know why?

If you know a good place to buy such things cheaply
in Toronto, or a mail order house that I could get one from,
or have one kicking around that you're not using and would
like to turn into cash, please let me know.

Looking forward to having a faster machine ...

Chris.
