Chuck,

  I agree with Henry. I don't see why the math-coprocessor would affect the
instruction set since it's backwards compat to i386. I have an original set
of AP/Pro 6.1.15 floppies but I'm missing system disk #1 so that may be
worthless. I have PicLAN though! Disk #1 is probably around here somewhere,
I just haven't needed to find it. If the system is AP/Pro 6.x then it should
boot just fine under 386, 486, and 586 (protected mode). I assume it's an
ISA SCSI-1 disk? I have a 586 footprint PC sitting behind me with PCI+ISA. I
also have an external 4mm DAT SCSI-1 tape drive sitting at home if you need
it. I think I may also have some DDS1 2GB tapes in a drawer somewhere. If
you run into issues with data recovery, shoot Doug Dumitru an e-mail. I
dunno if he'll have time to play or not, but he may have some pointers on
where to go. My memories of AP/Pro were short and filled with GFE horrors so
I've mentally blocked most of it out. :)
