floating point performance of the Motorola 68882. Is there help on the horizon? A plug-in compatible chip along the Weitek 80387 replacements that can speed up flp? And why is the 68882 so slow when compared with other chips that do essentially the same mathematical operations? Any info appreciated, with or without a disclaimer as to the employer's opinion. /ivo
