But as I remember it, if your motherboard provided a different clk for
the FPU,
it could be clocked much higher, reulting in much nice FP performance.
cpu & FPU were working async.

I _think_ the Amiga 3000/16 had a 16Mhz 68881 and the A3000/25
had a 25Mhz 68882, but I could easily be mistaken. Yeah, the
SE/30 is a 68030, 16MHz; with 68882 FPU...
Me too, but shouldn't that be a 68881? I never did any rendering on my Amigas,
so my use of the floating point was rather limited.
I did, and it was fun ;-)
I skipped over
the '020 when I was heavily into Amigas, leaping from a massively
expanded A1000 (Rejuvinator, Spirit InBoard, Microbotics Starboard w/Star-
Drive, ROM switcher, etc.) to an A3000/25.
Never had an Amiga. Probably it is the time now ...
