Greetings,
I recently purchased a PC1XX-AK on ebay. It was billed as a 8087 board, but that was just what was printed on the board. There's no 8087 on that board. It's just a memory adapter. Which is cool, as it lets me have 832k on my 100A now.
Has anybody had luck retrofitting a 8087 onto such a board? It looks like there's room to solder in a socket and put an 8087 there. There's also a bunch of other unpopulated pads as well for reasons unknown, so I thought I'd ask before embarking on board destruction.
I'm aware of the PC1XX-EA that's for the 100B that has a 8087 on it. I've been looking for one of these for years since I accidentally missed the last one that came up on ebay.
