Before everybody goes off the deep end wondering what a Motorolan is doing looking for information regarding interfacing *currently available* floating point processors to the M68000 family of microprocessors, let me explain. This is for my personal information. I realize that Motorola is currently shipping samples of 68881's and I applaud my coworkers in Austin for their success. But I also realize that there are those people that in the past wanted to use 68000's, required very fast floating point operations, but were not able to wait for the 68881. I am curious what they have done. Consider this question asked from a historical perspective. Boy, ask an innocent question . . .
