Apollo 1230 crash with FPU?

[amiman99]

I have similar problem with mine FPU that I got from Ebay. Works fine at 25MHz, flaky at 33MHz and no boot at 40MHz. The PLCC FPU is rated at 40MHz.
I'm using it on my A3000 with A3630 CPU card.

I did not find solution to that problem, I'm not sure if the FPU is marked improperly or the A3630 card does not work at speeds higher then 25MHz.

The thing is that it's kind of pointless having an FPU with an 030 anyway, there isn't much you'll be able to do with it unfortunately.

I did a little experiment with Vista Pro trying to render a scene, and there was a decreased render time when rendering using the FPU, so if your FPU is clocked higher then the CPU, then there is a significant advantage by using it.
