Re: 68k support status page

Hugo, one place that doesn't laugh at you is Micromac.  They have FPUs 
for most of the old Macs.  Check out their selection at:

http://www.micromac.com/products/fpus.html

I bought a 16MHz 68882 for my old Color Classic a while back.  It has 
the same processor as the LCII.

Good luck,

Tom
