     Does the 68040 have a math coprocessor? I remember hearing that there were
   problems with the coprocessor and it was removed. I assume that a 68882 would
   be slower than a 68040, but could two math processors also be used together?

The math coprocessor is built into the 68040.  Moto. claims that for
most things it is 5-10 times faster than the 68882.
