You can just stick an 8087 in a PC and run it with no changes in
switch settings. (I bought an 8087, rather than an IBM co-processor,
and didn't get any configuration instructions.) If the chip has
been put in and the switches set, then you could read them to check
on the 8087, but probably better to try it and see if it works.
