I wondered about that socket too, but came up with a more mundane guess at what it's for. I think that's the 68882 socket, and Byte simply mislabeled the picture. The chip they label as a 68882 is not a PGA package and its markings (or rather, lack thereof) suggest to me that it's something else, although I can't be sure of this. -- The dream *IS* alive... | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology but not at NASA. |uunet!attcan!utzoo!henry henry@zoo.toronto.edu
