Sure looks compatible, but what do you plan to use it for?

Ray tracing programs (I.e., Light wave and Alladin4D) along with Mandelbrot demos are prime programs in need of an FPU, but the small data cache on the 030 makes it very inefficient in their use.  On the whole, the program's needs elicit the need for an FPU

Again, the small cache on the 68030 limits the utility of the 68882 FPU except for demos and such.
