Oh wow... what you're using this 386sx for? :) Yeah, you can still
get those coprocessors easily if you use the www.ebay.com for that or
request through the proper newsgroups.

IIT, Intel are ok. I consider the IIT the most least power draw for
the notebooks. In fact, I have one in that LTE 386s/20. Please
consider the computer's speed and find the 387 mhz speed that meets
or exceeding it is no problem. Used mine at 20mhz on that 25mhz
copro chip until I changed the CPU and oscillator to 25mhz on that
LTE 386s/20 without problems.

Don't bother with the copro emulators. Total fluke and a drag on the
computer if that works. Yes, I tried that. Seems one purpose is to
fool some s/w that insists on that chip to work by making it fooled
to make it go.

THose copro chips are dirt cheap because of all 486 and pentiums made
them a "need" than luxtry item. Example: Quake gets better with one
that is fastest possible.
