What does KS1.3 do when the 680[01]0 processor gets an F-line exception?
Does it just bring up the GURU Alert or does it check for the presence
of a coprocessor (68881.resource??) and then pass control to it if it
exists?

Is there an OS friendly way of inserting exception vectors, rather than
for example:

    LEA      MyException, A0
    MOVE.L   A0, FLine_exception_vector

Which would really annoy the Enforcer?


Thanks,
Phil.
