my question is. if you run a cpu faster then the rating for the co-processor can that do any damage to the co processor?
I ask because I have a 5mhz / 10mhz 8086 system with a 8087 math co-pro. I accidentally ended up buying a V30 -16 so It seems my standard speed running is now 8mhz and 16mhz in turbo. so will running in 16mhz damage the math co-pro or does it just stop functioning when run over the rated speed?
