You will probably be able to run programs that use svgalib on your other
computers, but before you install svgalib check the documentation to make
sure your video chip is supported.  The computers with 8M and 16M RAM will
do graphics much faster.  16M is also enough to run Opera.

This is very interesting.  I have never heard of a coprocessor that does
not work with all programs.  Let us know if the coprocessor emulator
works.
