There was supposed to be a "daughter board" for the FPU, but I don't think
any actually exist. I have never figured out why they left this off the processor board.
As far as a market, I once heard a rumour they were produced as replacements for the
nuclear industry.

I bought one of those and was disappointed to discover that they do
not implement any floating point emulation at all and I had no luck
getting either 2.11BSD or RSTS/E 10.1 to run on it.
So what's the QED993 good for? RSX-11 or a really fast RT-11 box? TSX-11?
Who were they aiming at?
