The final specifications for the Equity LT-286e have changed in one particular.
Initial documentation indicated that the Intel 80C287 - A - 12 CMOS - type numeric
co- processor (NPX) should be used.
Due to Intel design considerations, this
turns out to be in error.
The 80C287 - A - 12 requires additional power and ground pin connections as
opposed to the NMOS version.
This requires special connections to the socket
that were not part of the LT-286e design.
Intel clearly warns that installing the
80C287 - A- 12 in a computer not meeting these new specifications can cause
damage to the NPX chip and/or the computer.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THE 80C287-A- 12 IN THE EQUITY LT-286e!
The final specification for the NPX to be used in the LT-286e is the 80287 - 8,
NMOS -type. The Service Support Plan and Service Manual are being revised
to reflect this change.
