So it does emulate a 68LC040 but reports itself as a 68020. I suppose
it makes sense. It doesn't exactly emulate any given processor so
whatever it reports itself as, some program or other will have a problem.
Given the list of what the emulator doesn't do I'd say the

That would be the way to go. You can probably get one from the LEM Swap

I have used SoftwareFPU on my Performa 575 and it worked, but was slow.

I have a program I must run which is pre-Power Mac and is supposed to run on

Thanks for all the responses. After trying some FPU programs and still

Reformatting an old 840MB drive using SCSI Director allowed the 650 to
recognize it, and an old Apple CDR from a

The program is an obscure interface app to an ancient gene

I've also read it emulates a 68LC040 and relies on the PPC FPU which is

Thanks for your help. The actual error reported by the program when
run on
a PPC is that a math coprocessor is required to run this app. Does
that
help?
Thanks, Jack
