WANTED - 8087 Maths CoPro
I'm looking for an 8087 Maths CoPro as all the ones I can find on eBay seem to be Chineseum and possibly fake.
If anybody has one spare, please let me know. The CPU is an NEC V20 as that may make a difference...

Thanks, I had seen that one and other similar ones, I just feel the price is a bit steep, but I'll keep my eyes open.stephen_usher wrote: Fri May 17, 2024 10:24 am There's this eBay listing: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324901073436 ... R9Cl1N3wYw

Re: WANTED - 8087 Maths CoPro
Thanks. Similarly to the one @stephen_usher pointed out on eBay, the price is a bit high, and if that only includes delivery in Japan, it could get expensive to get it to the UK.HigashiJun wrote: Fri May 17, 2024 12:14 pm @rubber_jonnie

Am I just being too sensitive to price? It seems a lot really when you compare prices with similarly old ICs.

Re: WANTED - 8087 Maths CoPro
You would have thought that they would be more plentiful and hence cheaper, but obviously not. Maybe most of the XT class machines never had one fitted and hence few have gone into the reused circulation.

I would say it is a reasonable price for this quite rare FPU.

I think probably you're both right and if I want one I will have to swallow the cost. Better have a think about how much I really want one...
