Well I have a 575 & like porting stuff - but as the 575 (& other newer
macs) are quite different, I think it would be wisest to wait until it
works on older '040 machines (deal with one problem at a time). Of
course that still leaves the FPU problem...

Has anyone spoken to the authr of Software FPU?:
