No, but most RAM expanion cards have a FPU socket that can accept a 68881 or 68882, there is no FPU socket on the A1200 motherboard.

There sort of is. Commodore planned to make 1200s available with an onboard-FPU as an option, but never did. With some serious work, one could probably be soldered in. There's probably some other areas on the board that need modification too, much like Doobrey's PCMCIA access LED mod.


Hmmm, never knew that, thanks for the tid bit of Amiga trivia :-)
