Date: 25 Feb 1996 02:49:33 GMT Organization: University of Illinois Lines: 24 Message-ID: <4goint$376@vixen.cso.uiuc.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: colt-15.slip.uiuc.edu Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=US-ASCII X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.7 hi, i was reading about netbsd at http://www.netbsd.org, and noticed that 1.0 had been ported to 68030-based macs that had an FPU. it stated efforts were in progress to remove the FPU requirement. i am about to receive a PowerBook 150 that does not have an FPU. thus, i have two questions: 1) is work still in progress to remove the FPU requirement, and, if so, how long is it estimated before that happens? 2) if the answer to (1) is negative or uncertain, would anyone happen do know if i can add an FPU to my mac at a later time? thanks, andrew // ----------------------------------------------------------------- // andrew todd brown mailto:andrewbrown@acm.org // university of illinois http://www.uiuc.edu/ph/www/atbrown1 // -----------------------------------------------------------------
