These are from the back of the June 24 issue of PC Week.  Some of the
companies have not published their new pricing yet, for those I have just
included a phone number.

        Microway   ELKCO
==========================
Intel
 16sx     $120      $135
 20sx     $135      $147
 16       $175       --
 20       $180      $215
 25       $185      $215
 33       $194      $215

Cyrix
 16sx     $115      $122
 20sx     $125      $133
 16        --       $189
 20       $175      $189
 25       $175      $189
 33       $184      $205

These prices suprise me in that Microway is actually lower than ELKCO.  I have
never known Microway to be a low cost supplier (more like middle to high), but
oh-well.  BTW, most of these places also sell memory at pretty good to very
good prices.  If I were in the market for a '387 chip I think that I would
try to wait for 2-3 weeks while these prices stabalize.

Like Thoreau, I rejoice that there are owls.  Part of the reason is that
owls eat mice, and thus make a certain number of cats unnecessary, which
is always a plus.  Jeff Duntemann, Dr. Dobb's June '91
