Yup, and yup.

1) I have a couple co-processors -- make me an offer.

2) I saw several emulators, but the only one I found that actually worked
well, the file was called "FRANKE87" and was German in origin. It actually
fooled AutoCad 10 into believing there was a co-processor chip on my 386SX
and actually did speed up FP instructions (measured with CheckIt).

I may have a copy of it somewhere, but that's no guarantee, as my 386 has
been sold for a coupla years now, and my P150+ doesn't need it. ;-)

HTH,
