buy 68882/25Mhz..I have heard that works with overclockers.

68k Linux needs that. Actually I don't know why.

I had something audio-filter/EQ software-demo what needed 68882. With MIDI it's no use, but Audio use it is something, but Falcon's DSP is faster for that...of course if good programmer programming with assembler using both of them...there is so much power together...I think that Falcon was fastest home-computer in 1994 with FPU. And I think It was the last good designed computer.
