Math Coprocessor
You automatically install a math coprocessor when you
upgrade your system with a DX or DX2 microprocessor,
because a math coprocessor is built into the 486DX and 486DX2
chips.
Drives
Your system can support up to four mass storage devices,
including hard disk drives, diskette drives, a tape drive, a
CD-ROM drive, or an optical drive. As your storage needs
expand, you can install additional drives. Some restrictions
apply however; see Appendix A for more information.
