  Hmmm... I guess I was wrong, cause I got the impression from an article
on the MAC version of it that only the 24bit rendere required a math
coprocessor, and assumed that the reason why it ran so dog-slow on an 
amiga version I saw was because it didn't use the math-co.  Do you know
if all of the versions of playmation require a math-co?
