Microbotics makes a "Multifunction Module" for StarboardII that, among
other things, has a socket for a 68881.  I don't know about compatibility
with 1.3 math libs; I believe you get math libs with the mfm.  It would
certainly be _possible_ to hack one in, also, but I assume that's not what
you had in mind...
