The PowerCentral cdev has PowerMath built in.  There is no stand-alone
PowerMath cdev that I know of.  

I'm running a 50 MHz PowerCache with FPU on a 20 meg IIx.  The control
panel does crash when opened under A/UX, but it should work fine with
MacOS.  If that is your problem, just install the cdev in your 
MacPartition sys folder, and configure it properly before launching
A/UX.  If the cache is enabled when A/UX is launched, it will stay
enabled when it is running.

If PowerCentral is crashing under MacOS, call Daystar.  That shouldn't
happen.  I don't know whether PowerMath will work without an on-board
FPU;  what it does is to pass SANE traps to the FPU -- I'm not sure
if it will work with the 16 MHz FPU on the motherboard.
