I have one. It's right there... lower left section of the motherboard. the processor is in the upper center, under the heatsink / strengthener. The FPU in the Docks was for the 210 and 230 so they could run photoshop as quickly as an '040. Unfortunately in all other things, it's slow. The '040 was a quick chip, and a worthy successor to the lowly '030. An FPU can't make up for the larger on-chip caches in the 68040. -Andy ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
