As far as the list of supported system goes, these were the questions I had:

- If FPUs are required. why are those system listed?

	Powerbook 140, 145, 145B, 160 and 165
	MacTV
	
                (Apple support site does not list them with 68882
                FPU even optionaly.)

	LC II

                (Same as above but has a LC PDS slot which I have
                been told could be use to add a 68882 FPU. Does
                this really work? Do I just need to find one of
                those funny PDS Ethernet card and add a 68882 FPU
                that match the speed of the CPU to make it work?)
		

- Is it the "Classic II" or the "Color Classic II" that is supported.
The way it written confused me. (The Classic II would be in no FPU
and no FPU socket category above.)


I'm not an old Mac expert in anyway. Maybe my lack of knowledge is
at fault here.


I put that document together recently (it's not complete). Mostly
based on Apple Old Mac technical reference:
