I usually call the thing "the FPU", and if necessary to mention which one, I call it the "eight eighty two", since it's connected to the "oh-twenty" or "oh-thirty". Same principle as all those Inteloids who use "three eighty six" based computers with "three eighty seven" chips in 'em. > I don't envy the people who have to work with the damn things. If just the name scares you away, stay away from just about all electronics; everything's got a number of some kind. > Bob Glickstein -- Dave Haynie "The 32 Bit Guy" Commodore-Amiga "The Crew That Never Rests" {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: D-DAVE H BIX: hazy Amiga -- It's not just a job, it's an obsession
