And ther was the cdev 'SoftwareFPU', working on LC, 475, 630, 6100...
And a few more.

>All Macs with a 68020 or better CPU had an MMU which allowed them to do
>virtual memory when System 7 was released. The older 68000 Macs did not
>have an on-board MMU, so could not do VM.

>Interestingly enough, while the full 68040 chip had an integral FPU,
>(while the 68LC040 did not) the emulator in the Power PC Macs did not
>emulate any FPU functions, so 68k math programs which required an FPU would
>work on a Quadra 700, but not the Power Mac 8100, for example. On the good
>side, programs which used Apple's SANE did work on the Power PC
>architecture with the emulator.
