PMJI- but if you ever decide on the Weitek or not, I have one setting around,
its for a 486/33mhz machine (4167). And as Martin said, it should only be used
with a 33mhz cpu. I contacted Weitek directly, before buying the chip, and
asked about using it with a 50mhz chip, they said they would not recommend it
for they have heard of the chips
"burning out" because of the higher speed of the cpu. The Weiteks are made for
the there respective speeds of cpu only. Weitek 25 for the 25mhz cpu, the
Weitek 33 for the 33mhz cpu, and no up or down grading.
Also Weitek said the 33mhz 4167 is the last of the co-processor chips
they will be making, no 50mhz or up.
