68882.PRG
---------


Description:
------------

68882.PRG is a small patch for non-68LC040 users which fools the internal
68040 FPU into running 68882-compiled programs.

The performance of the emulated FPU instructions is roughly double that
of a 16MHz 68882. The performance of non-emulated (i.e. the 68040's own
built-in) FPU opcodes is approx 5-30 times that of a 16MHz 68882. Most
FPU opcodes encountered during processing are of the built-in kind, so
performance is not normally affected. Emulation is required mainly for
compatibility with extra 68882 capabilities.


Installation:
-------------

Place 68882.PRG in the auto folder. It doesn't matter where, so long as
it doesn't run before the TKROMDRV driver.

68882.PRG should not be used with a 68LC040 processor, as this has no
internal FPU whatsoever.


Extra information:
------------------

The official name for the special emulation software used inside the
68882.PRG program is '68040FPSP' or 'Floating Point Software Package'
from Motorola. It is freely available on their websites. A special 68060
version is also available from the same place.
