All you guys testing for the 68881, where do I get one? Especially if I don't
want a 68020 to go with it?  I've tried contacting a couple of companies:

Mac Memory will sell me one ($399) on top of their TurboMax producut (16MHz
68000, 2Meg RAM: $1299)

Levco Prodigy Prime (Fan, New Power Supply, 16Mhz 68020, +1 Meg RAM:
$1995, + $295 for the 68881).

Not what I'm looking for.  All I want is my floating point math to run faster,
not to gut and replace my whole Mac+.  What ever happened to Novy Systems and
Ryad?  Are these folks still around? Do they, or anyone else sell a 68881/
replacement SANE upgrade?  
THanks in advance...
