Does anyone know where I can find assembler source that implements
floating point math for a 68000. Minimally, I need addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and "integer-to-real" and
"real-to-integer" conversions. IEEE arithmetic would be nice,
although all I require are a set of self-consistent routines.
The code must execute within a 10mS control loop, so I'm willing to
trade speed for accuracy, i.e. single precision is fine.

Sounds like you want the Motorola 68343 Fast Floating Point software
package. It used to be licensed for $500, but it's available free now
from the Motorola BBS. I think the number is (512) 891-FREE. They
still may want a license for commercial use.
