Does anyone know anything about the 68881 co-processor for the Mac
that's supposedly available now?  Is it worth the $800, or can it be
gotten more cheaply than that?  Has anyone run a benchmark to see
how much it speeds up floating point code?  Any information at all
would be greatly appreciated, I'm asking for a friend who's interested
in it.

If I get any substantive replies by mail, I'll post a summary to the
net.

Thanks in advance.
