  A previous posting said the PC-2 has a slot for the 8087 and the XT
  power supply.  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.
