The 68882 can't be used with the 68040, at least not with Macs
(technically they can, but that's another story - Macs won't use them).

That's a big list. Generally, almost all Quadras except the Quadra 605
come with full '040s, and most '040 Performas have LC040s. Some Centris
computers shipped with LC040, but those are rare (they can be spottted by
the lack of ethernet on the motherboard).

Some poeple upgrade their Macs; I've bought many Quadra 605 (they're so
small, yet useful...), and a few came with full '040s.

But with full '040s on eBay for typically under $10 USD, it shouldn't be
hard to upgrade.

Soon Bruce's 1.6.1 snapshots for FPU-less Macs will be available, and,
soon, binary NetBSD packages for FPU-less m68k, so if you can't upgrade,
you'll have many more options in a month or two.
