I bought an FPU for my blizzard 030/50 (back in the day

so that I could run Doom. It also helps with 3d rendering, and stuff like that.

Various other 3D games need it.

Uh, Doom worked fine on my 03050 without FPU.

Really? I thought the original Doom ports needed it. And I know quake did, but that didn't make it playable on 030/50 :-D

ClickBOOM Amiga Quake absolutely 100% definately required an FPU.
