Regards,
Now, about the 'broken LC040' support catagory into which so many
machines fall, including possibly the Q605 of my immediate interest-
does that mean these machines will boot
A) if (and only if) the CPU is swapped for a full 68040, or
B) does it mean that the machine boots as is, but will take an
unsupported co-processor trap if any application code should attempt
a floating point operation?
I notice that both NetBSD and the 68K Linux have identified FPU
emulation as work to be done.
