Actually, there was a mini-scandal when it came out that Motorola had sold a bunch of buggy LC040s to Apple. Not only does it not have an FPU (by design) but there's a bug in it that keeps things like SoftwareFPU and other FPU emulation stuff from working. I don't know exactly how to tell which were buggy and which were just LCs, but there were some buggy LCs. Scott Holder ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
