[comp.sys.mac] Using 68881 Directly

rs4u+@andrew.cmu.edu (Richard Siegel) (03/04/88)

I can't talk about the upcoming version, but currently, the way to
the 68881 is not easy. Basically, you'll have to write the stuff
in assembly, hand-assemble it (or use an assembler and get a hex dump)OA
and then use DC.W's to put the code inside an asm { } statement.

You also will need the 68881 reference manual, available from Motorola.

Depending on the time frame of your development, you might do well to
continue using SANE, and then recompile when you get the new version...
