In my collection I have a few XT class computers running the 8088 or 8086 processor. All without 8087... for now.
3 times IBM model 30; 8086 at 8MHz
Multitech MPF-PC; 8088 at 4.77MHz
Philips P3105; V20 at 8MHz
Philips P3120; 8088 at 10MHz
Tulip PC Compact 2; 8088 at 10MHz
a working Turbo XT board without destiny; V20 at 8MHz
Now I'm looking to get myself some coprocessors for these systems and may get myself a lot of 5 to 10 pcs 8087-2 chips.
Not really a reason to do this, but hey... Wouldn't you? 😁
Now these are rated for 8MHz of course but I'm wondering: how well would or wouldn't they do in the two 10MHz computers?
Getting an overclock of 25% may seem madness to some, but I ran a 8088-2 at 10MHz for a few years in my PC Compact 2 befor I realized it was actually overclocked (and eventually replaced with a V20 as it originally came with off factory)
Stuck at 10MHz...
