- You thought so incorrectly. The machine on which I'm typing this has
- an FPU version number of 0, but it has an FPU; that's true *regardless*
- of whether "the machine on which I'm typing this" refers to the SS10/41
- on my desk, or the 4/280 into which I'm remotely logged in.
-
- A version number of *7* means "no FPU", just as I said.
