eh ? any program using the ieee libs get the benefit of an FPU for free, so all those prg's use them without "intention"

ALL those programs eh?? List a few, go on. If there are so many programs that use the the FPU list them.

If you can find 10, that the majority of us will have heard of, I'll buy you a pint or two.

Heh, heh! DOOM eh??

Doom does NOT use an FPU! The original never did and neither does any Amiga port. The game is written to use fixed point math not floats.

And why you'd want to play a lame Amiga port at 320x200 at about 5-10fps on an 030 when you can play GLDoom / ZDoom / prBoom on a PC/Mac at 1280x1024 75fps I dunno, you'd have to be BONKERS!

@mike:
Only thing to watch out for: what type of package do they come in? PGA (Pin Grid Array, gold pins at the bottom) or PLCC (like the agnus/buster etc) chips.

For Georg's board you probably need PGA or else do a lot of re-wiring.
