This message is also being posted from a TT.  My TT manual also stated that
I have a 68882, but Mac software says I have a 68881.  Has anyone else
seen this?  My machine came with TOS 3.01.  I purchased it just 3 weeks
ago.  I wish I knew why Atari is shipping machines with down rev TOS
and the wrong math co-processor.  On a positive note, I love the new
desktop.  I'm the legal owner of both DC Desktop and NeoDesk.  Gribnif
lost me as a customer when they wanted more for the upgrade to 3.0 than
I could buy it mail order.  I prefer the TT desktop.  

The TT is fast and Mac/Spectre is even faster. (much Mac software uses
the 68881)  I am very happy with the purchase.  Both local stores are
sold out of TT and waiting for more from Atari.  (B&C and SJC)
