I have recently acquired a 68881 FPU, and would like to hear from anyone who
has attempted, or knows anything about, attaching it to my 1Mb STFM. I
did initially think it just plugged in, but I now realise that only Megas
have the appropriate socket. As I have a few programs that will generate
code for it if installed, I really would like to attempt to get it working.
(For one fractal graphics application, without the 68881 takes 30 mins per
screen, with 68881 4 mins...!). If anyone knows how it can be done, or
knows of a board I can purchase, please, please reply. I should be able to
receive mail from any source, or reply through the net.
