The LPSxx printers had the FPU, at least the LPS40, 20 and 32
as I was involved with those. The Turbo20 and lps32 had the Cvax
which had FPU.

AFAIK, no M7606 modules shipped

IIRC there were four part numbers, two
with FPU and two without (the other
"variable" was something like the
manufacturer for the on-board memory or
some such). None of the non-FPU
parts shipped (I'm not sure whether
any were built for testing).
Other bits of kit almost certainly shipped
without an FPU: for example, I've
just had a look at some preliminary
DEMSA schematics and I can see
no FPU. I would expect that other
"dedicated" kit (LPS printers,
various X-terminals etc) also
dispensed with the FPU if it
was not necessary.

Yes. But although there were part numbers
produced for MicroVAX II CPU modules
*without* the FPU, I don't think *any* were
ever shipped.
Not even for VAXeln?
