use the 8087.

Oh really? That is weird. :) I used to have *3* MBC 555 w/o HDC,
just basic 2 180K drives and maxed out one or two to 256k and played
with them until it blew up. Do you have more info about these MBC
555's and I'm bit puzzled by everyone's comments about quality, Sanyo
made those boxes that IBM put to shame in quality overall in their PC
and XT boxes.
The power supplies is oh goody old fashioned linear type not switcher
and all bare. The fan is ball bearing type and very SILENT, I still
have this fan.
