WANTED - 8087 Maths CoPro

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...

I believe I have one Jon.

But before you get too excited, its back to the same old broken record I play; i.e. its buried behind a cabinet with books, photos and vases on. On top of that, its Lucys birthday this weekend.

The question to ask, I guess, is how soon do you need it?

Ahh that's cool.

I'm not in a hurry TBH, so take your time :)

Hope Lucy has a great birthday :)

Hi Jon, I just signed in tonight just to say that the box I *thought* had the old processors in, did have old processors, just not the older ones.

Im hoping to have a bit of time this weekend and as a bonus, without any destructive gremlins dancing around the house, so should be able to dig out another box, which I think this IC may reside.

Im sorry about the delay.

It breaks my heart to report that I was wrong Jon :(

I *finally* found my old relic CPU/FPU box. but the closest thing I had was a 80287.

Normally Im pretty good remembering what has been stashed around the house. But not this time.

Im so sorry.

No worries, I appreciate you taking the time to look.

Minor change of plan, I'm putting this on the back burner as I need to locate an INS8060 and an INS8154 for my Science of Cambridge MK14. They are super expensive on eBay, so the 8087 can wait for a bit.

Thanks.

TBH I haven't looked in a while, and I've spent the last week in France, so not really been trying.

ATM I'd rather put the money towards a CPU anI/O IC for the MK14, and they come out about £80-£90 for a pair, but I will come back to the 8087, but the book 8088 will run without it and the MK14 won't run without the CPU.

Ahhh god damn you @alexh, I couldn't help myself once prodded and my plans are off sideways!!!

I just found one on eBay from a UK seller I trust, £34.

I'm paid in 10 days, so I'll get the other parts then...

Ahhh god damn you @alexh

Sorry. But it could have been worse... like my random bid from last month. These N501's notoriously self destruct and I don't expect anything less than unrepairable but my offer was so much less than the advertised price I wasn't expecting a yes.
