System Technology Corporation is offering a FPU board for the LC.
It was advertised in the back of MacWeek of 03.18.91 for $149 as
an "introductory offer" (i.e., I don't think the price will stay
the same forever.)  Their address is: 1860 Fern Palm Drive,
Edgewater, FL  32141 and they can be reached at (904) 428-0411.

I just received the one I purchased today.  I've installed it and it
seems to work fine (Excel doesn't complain and works fine), though I
haven't run any benchmarks with it.  The board has a socket for
a clock crystal, if you decide to get a higher-speed FPU you can
replace the 68881 with the new one and insert the clock chip to make
it run faster than the normal 16 MHz.
