That's a different article by the same author, Ken Shirriff

Yes - I was just trying to give things a "this is interesting, so upvote & discuss!" kick. In the absence of Ken popping up with good "Author here for your 8087 questions" comment.
elpocko•10m ago
I guess he didn't pop up because the article is 6 years old.

Northstar made an S-100 card which did FP math, using BCD arithmetic. It had a ucode ROM and a 4b (single digit) ALU, and a few small RAMs to hold the digits. If I remember correctly you could program it to select how many digits you wanted in your representation, up to 14 digits. It did everything one digit at a time, and it had a 256 byte ROM to carry out any digit*digit product in one cycle. For normalization no data was moved -- just the pointer to the appropriate digit was incremented or decremented.
