C) the machine will boot, but will do bizzare things w/o a full 68040.

The problem is that there are errors in the emulator for the LC040's.
Also, there are errors in some of the chips which we can't get around.

Both the 68881/2 emulator (for 020 and 030 machines w/o FPU) and the
floating point package for the full 040 (the fpsp, I think) work fine.

Take care,
