Sorry for the typo, I did mean FFP, Fast Fortran.
Standard on F-series, and I've only ever found one 2113 E-series CPU that
did not have it installed (it had been highly customized with user
microcode).

"FFT" = "Fast Fourier Transform?" I'm unfamiliar with that
product, and I
can't find it in any of the 1000 MEF ordering guides that I have. Do you
have a part number?
Are you possibly thinking of "FFP" = "Fast FORTRAN Processor?" That
was a
common microcode option that added two- and three-word floating-point
instructions, but no integer instructions.
