No, that is what the '040 and '060 libraries do.

emulation and cause a trap which runs the cpu in supervisor mode.
It's a 68882 (or absence of) problem rather than a 680x0 probem..

Naturally--anything '060 is irrelevant without '060 library. I'm sure
the latest p5 '060 lib implements what was previously done by

Reputed to be definitely better by those who use it.

Most notable on mine was ImageFX3.3, which is curious since IFX2.6
absolutely had to have cyberpatcher to be usable.
