I'd like to get a feeling for the magnitude of floating point
performance increase by adding the AFPA board to a model 125
running the Sep or Dec 88 release of AOS 4.3.

I also understand that there are TWO AFPA boards for sale now,
one of which was designed for and shipped with the model 125,
and one which is shipped with the 130 and 135 (but can be used
with the 125, if my understanding is correct.)  Is there any reason
NOT to buy the newer AFPA board?  I believe their prices are
similar.
