Hello Mark, The Uspeed Fast88 isn't a single chip like the math coprocessor. The 8087 (8088's coprocessor) is supposed to make the 8088 almost as fast as a 286 with complex math functions. Your software needs to be able to use it, However. I always wanted one, but never really pursued it. The Fast88 is a small board on a piece of angled aluminum with a small group of chips and what looks like clock crystals. It also has an 18 pin dip connection on the end of a ribbon cable. It plugs into a dip socket near the back of the MB. I think it is where a relay usually goes. It was on a clone board, but I can't recall if it was an XT class, or a PC class system. Oh, it has an RJ type connector on the back too.... don't know what it is for. I doubt it would work with a turbo board. Chad Mark in Clinton TWP. MI.
