There's a spot on the A2620 board for a clock module that goes into the
68881/68882 clock input.  So you can run it however fast your math chip
can handle it.  I've got a 68881 running at 25Mhz in the lab as we speak,
the other one was in the system on the display floor at CeBit, though it
didn't really do any math with it.
