I don't believe an 030 is supported by Oxypatcher even
with a FPU.  Even if it does work, Oxypatcher was designed
with the 040/060 FPU in mind.  Supposedly, the 040/060 fpus
are missing certain instructions available on a geniune
68k fpu.  Oxypatcher patches these instructions to speed
up their emulation.  I believe these instructions are
natively supported by the 68882/68881 fpus. The speed difference
is more noticable on an 060 vs the 040. The HSMathlibs I
believe are a replacement for the standard OS math library
files.  I have not read anywhere that says you can't use
both.
