Hello,
due to my ongoing thesis in astrophysics where I have to do a great deal of
floating point simulation I'm desperately looking into means to improve the
floating point speed of my A310 (4Mb, Arm 3, OAK SCSI...)

One intermediate solution would be a replacement for the FPE-module that
would use my Cyrix 387sx on the Aleph One PCboard (quite similar to the
DT Softwares 287 copro). I already phoned Aleph One on this but the did
not seem interested in writing such a module. While this can only be the
first step as the DT's copro claims 3-5-fold speed increase compared to an
ARM3, I would be really interested in some help on this program.

The real solution would be a combined Arm3/Copro hardware. As it seems that
Acorn will finally release a decent and payable Copro I'd be very interested
to hear of companies that sell Arm3 upgrades with coprocessor sockets.

Another possibility would be a do-it-yourself thingy that would have basically
an Arm3 and an empty socket. In order to keep it expandable I'd like to put
one or two memory upgrade sockets (like on the A540) on the board too.

So can a kind soul provide me with suitable info on the pinouts and connections
of the copro and the memory upgrades? 

hopefully
