G'day DAVID O'SULLIVAN, In a message on , DARREN ENGLISH
said to DAVID O'SULLIVAN :
DE> The maths coprocessor will perform arithmatic functions in your old
DE> system. What this means (i think) is your processor is free to do data
DE> crunching, and the maths coprocessor will do all the maths processing.
DE> This can be helpful for some games and CAD packages.
It will do these things ONLY if the software is designed to use the
co-processor. If your software was not written to recognise (most XT
software prob would not) the existance of the co-processor then the co-pro
will do nothing other than fill up the extra socket.
