Yes, I did. In fact, I bought one purely for Linux development, so that I 
could test the code to do i387 error handling (which is non-trivial, 
because an IBM PC/AT hooks up the i387 in a non-standard way - not the way 
Intel designed it directly to the CPU, but instead through the interrupt 
controller)
