I have the same "Coprocessor not installed" error when I use Font/DA Mover
on my Macintosh Plus.  The error occurs when I open a font suitcase,
copy all fonts into another suitcase, and then try to remove all selected
fonts (thus deleting the suitcase).

Welp, looks like that good ol' 68882 is vital for copying fonts now! :)
