  Are there any limitations to using a 68020 with a faster 68882? I have read
the manuals and they state that the 68020 clock cannot be more than 1.5X the
68882 clock, but can you run the 68020 slower than the 68882?

  Specifically I have been using a 33.3 MHz 68882 with a 25 MHz 68020 for
quite a while with no problems. What will happen if I try a 50 MHz 68882 with
a 25 MHz 68020?
