I thought the DX machines were the ones with the co-processor, my first PC was a
386 SX-33 and I remember complaining to the person who built it as I had asked
for a DX with a co-processor and 4MB of memory. I remember him saying nothing
has been written to use the co-processors so he did not think there was any
point in adding one. Also asking me why I needed 4MB of memory, he obviously was
not aware of POV-Ray.

Unfortunately I do not have my first image any longer so cannot post it. I have
the files on an old 3.25 floppy disk but do not have anything with a floppy disk
drive to get hold of it..
