-
- Actually the question WAS dealing with the cyrix 486 clones (although if
- i remember correctly, the original posting dealt with the 486DLC, and not
- the SLC, but I am possibly mistaken on that point).
-
- The original poster said he had heard that the math coprocessor section
- of the 486 clones wasnt functioning properly.
-
- Several people who didnt know what they were talking about jumped in and
- started talking about the Cyrix stand alone coprocessors (387's), and
- then the thread just drifted that way in the last week or so..
