Actually, the card comes with a patch to AppleWorks that lets AW support it in
the SpreadSheet.

Technically, it is just a patch to the SANE routines in AW, and all calls made
through SANE are sent to the math co-processor. The fact that both AW2.x and
AW3.0 use the standard SANE routines lets IS's card stay compatible w/o
changes.
