Question:

Does QuickBASIC support the 8087 or 80287 coprocessor?

Response:

QuickBASIC Versions 3.00 and later support the 8087 and 80287 coprocessor.

The QuickBASIC Versions 1.x and 2.x do not support the 8087 chip.
However, Hauppage Computer Works, New York (516-360-3827), may offer a
library to which you can link to provide this support.
