AKA  (also known as)
Math co-processor
Floating Point processor

If you own a 486 DX computer or Pentium, one is built in to the processor you
already have.   The 486 SLC or SX did not have one.    ..and are you sure you
HAVE TO SHOUT????   It's not that critical, is it?   Sounds like someone's dyin'
for lack of a math-co.

Mike    -ah, well.   I guess we *used* to think we would die without one, eh?
