Yeah, you're right. I wasn't reading my spreadsheet correctly. The IIcx
came standard with the FPU chip. Guess the other thing to consider is
you SCSI termination. If that's not right you'll sometimes see some
pretty strange errrors. I once had a disk that would work find in the
first half, but anytime NetBSD tried to do anything witht he second half
it would hang. All the problems went away when I installated an active
terminator on it.
