I am looking for a math chip which can be used with embedded systems.  
I would prefer a buss oriented chip, where the host computer communicates 
via an 8 or 16 bit data buss.  In my fantasy, I imagine a chip which uses 
the IEEE floating point format used by Intel 80x87's and accepts one 
number at a time followed by a command.

Does anyone know of math chips of this, or any other design which can be 
used with Intel 80c196KC/KD chips?

Thank in advance,
