- Caveat: I'm not an Amigan, I just play one on posts like this...

- "68882" is the part# of Motorola's FPU chip, so I'm guessing that if you're
- being told that you have one o' these, then you really do have a full 68040
- (with its attendant subset of the full 68882 instruction set)... (On the

- emulated in the OS, and Showconfig et al can't tell. See, I told you I
- was a sham! :-)
