>Did the 286 have the math coprocessor.......or was that the 386?
the 386DX had it, the 386SX did not, well it did but it was actually disabled at the factory, crippled as it were so made little sense to get an SX. Sorry to say I actually knew the answer to this one...
That rings a bell. My first was the 386sx (no math coprocessor). It couldn’t handle fractals. And I was miffed. Before the WWW came along with hot links, it was fun to look at fractals.
