Dear Gunnar and team, What I dont undetstand from "advanced 080 FPU quest" is will : a)6881 compatibility be abandoned and only new FPU with optimized software will be used (like AMMX instr. unique to 080 in m68k world) b)we will softemulate needed 881 first by CPU, later by that advanced FPU. I have seen some softFPU results EXTERNAL LINK and while they are bad, can we at least have such tool at courtesy running the FPU only software? c) Both "new FPU" and compatibility to 8882 will be maintained, but after SAGA over DIGITAL-VIDEO, Pamela and few other features are planned? If c) is goal can we have softFPU b) as "stopgap" solution? A roadmap of what you are doing/planning for next two core releases or so, would be anyway most welcome FAQ states a new, modified line, which states fully compatibile 060 FPU as goal (in past it said not all FPU instructions are to be included): "Do Vampires have a FPU ? A: The implemented FPU will be a 68060 compatible FPU. FPU is currently disabled and is a WIP."
