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)
