CPU in PB5x0 is (I think) 68V040 which is a low power consumption
version of 68040, which does not have a built-in FPU.  It looks like
Motorola is more to blame than Apple, to me, anyway.

Personally I couldn't care less about Apple's PPC line.  I wouldn't be
using SE/30 at the first place if it hadn't already been sitting there
as my wife's old word processing machine...  because it's kinda
hopeless to wait for Apple to release more technical information...
If I ever buy a PPC box, it will definitely not be from Apple.
