Hi. Only few questions

1- Please, anyone can tell me the difference between an Intel RapidCad and a 387 coprocessor?Are euquals?

2- The coprocessor to works, must runs at the same clock of the cpu?

thanks a lot

RapidCAD is not a coprocessor, it is a CPU set.

the CPU is a scaled down 486DX

the 'co-processor' is a PLD that generates a signal for the motherboard, saying it has a FPU.

For the second question?

I've an i386DX @ 33Mhz, can I mount a coprocessor that works at 40mhz?

thanks a lot

[fRaSsL]

Yes.

[Olivetti_Elea_9003]

Thanks.

But it will works at 40mhz? not a 33?

[Marcin]

Will work in synchro with CPU as this time 33 MHz

....or the motherboards supports async modes...
