Well, both the PC-1 and the PC-2 have that 8087 slot and neither of them has the beefed up power supply. I have a PC-2, so I know. The difference between the two is that the system board on the PC-2 has room for 256k instead of only 64k and the 8088 in the board is the new one that is needed to use the 8087. Some of the older PC's had the old 8088, so IBM distributes the new one with the 8087 in their Co-processor package. Most people have the new one anyway, but it doesn't hurt to switch.
