Anyone tried adding a 8087 in a PCjr ?
Based of stuff found on the interwebz, in can be either piggybacked on top of the 8088 with some pins unconnected and one diagonal connection or both 8088 & 8087 installed on a small PCB that plugs into the CPU socket (back in the day Legacy and one more company were selling those as add-ons)

Not sure if it needs bios support also...
