Hi!

Does anyone have a feel for the 88110's double precision FP speed?  Will it be  
tripled as well as the integer speed? (please?) If it is, we're talking about  
some _serious_ processing--about the level of a Stellar GS2000 or SGI 4D/GTX  
series.  

This has got me thinking about building very fast coprocessor boards.  Does  
anyone have any recommendations for the best way to get a solid background in  
Mach?

Thanks.
