The floating-point-arithmetic hardware has been installed and it
seems to work.  Some very preliminary benchmarks indicate a speedup
of simple calculations by roughly a factor of 100.

Since both the memory and the floating-point processor are now in full
operation, the previous ban on running things like Basic and APL during
office hours is hereby ended.
