Default Adding a 68882 to a 68030 accelerator board.
I have a 40Mhz 68030 board for my A1200 that has a socket for a 68882.

Can I put a 33Mhz 68882 in it okay, or should I get a 40Mhz?

Thanks.

I think you should just try and see what happens...
Worst case scenario is that the FPU fries and dies, or it gets a little buggy. Overclocking from 33 to 40MHz should be no problem IMHO.

Load in some prog that uses the FPU extensively and run it for some hours, to check the stability of the FPU.

Good luck!

Hello,

I thought this might help you out a bit. I was surfing ebay and saw an auction, ending in a little over 6 hours for a 40Mhz 030 and 40Mhz FPU.

Hopefully, you get this before the end of that auction. Here is the link:

Thanks,
Mike
