I'm running Excel 1.5 on my Mac II in which I installed a 68882.
Excel reports that it is using the 68881 on startup. I conclude
that it only checks to see if there is a coprocessor but doesn't
really look to see what kind. Whether any of the newer versions
will do so or not, who knows. Perhaps they assume the type
of coprocessor from the type of machine.
