Two points: the Mac IIfx graphics coprocessor is an AMD 29000, not an
88000.  No big deal; they're both RISC and lots of people seem to just
glom all RISCs together.  (There were some messages a while back that
said, in effect: "I'd like to se an 88000 card for the Amiga, so it
could run Sparcstation software". 88000 and Sparc are also different.)

The other point is that the coprocessor graphics card is a high end
and expensive option that I figure very few Mac owners will enjoy.
