Just a question of curiosity, but I wonder why no one has tried to garner
support for the use of multiple math coprocessors on an Amiga accelerator
setup. If I remember properly, the 68020+ allow for up to I belive 6
coprocessors per CPU, with each called though the coprocessor number in the
FPU opcode. True...this would require additional support in the way of
software, but the advantages to applications such as high-detail raytracing
might be worth the effort. Now, of course, this would be offset by the
advantage of something like a T800-based transputor board running in an
Amiga...but this is just a thought about alternatives....
