O.K. 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 . . .
