Andy, Hey! The 287 was wonky too! I remember an article in Byte about how certain 287s would fail slowly bit by bit over months until the error got large enough for you to notice it. By then you'd been calcing all your Lotus sheets wrong for a month or more. Maybe it was a _smart_ move to step on the FPU to create the SX 486s! 😀 Malcolm
