68040s are like gold.  He will be lucky to find one for $1000.  Then he
will have to figure out what to do with it.  There are no boards for the 1000
or any other Amiga that use the 68040 (yet).

In addition, the 68040 does not need a floating point chip (68882).  It has
a floating point unit built in.

I think your friend wants a 68020 (my guess).  But you'd better ask him,
because I don't think he is certain of what he really needs right now.
