Wait a minute? How are you gonna be able to use both of them under
any circumstances? There's only one bus for a slot to attach to.

Anyway, you don't need to get an FPU to get a slot.  There's a 3rd-

Sorry, don't remember the details; saw it mentioned on one of
these newsboards the week the new Macs came out.
