--- rumor has it (a reliable colleague, reading something on CI$) that a company called xetek is making a floating point chip add-on for the ST, and should realize performance improvements of 2-30x (obviously on code dominated by floating point ops normally done in software on the ST). code has to be recompiled. don't know what happens to line F with this implementation. they are also s'posed to provide a library for flops. company is in Salina, KS. cost: circa $200... anybody hear any more on this? -bill
