There are two IIsi adapter cards, one that allows the use of NuBus
cards, and one that allows the use of SE/30 processor direct slot cards.
Each of these adapters comes with a 68882 as part of the adapter.

The 10.16.90 MacWeek mentioned a third party, PSI Integration of San
Jose, California, that will sell a SE/30 adapter card with the socket
for the 68882, but no chip.  This adapter would presumably cost less.
