I'm a bit confused about the 68LC040. I have a Q605 (functionally equivelent to
the 475 I understand) and it gave me trouble when I tried to install. I would get
an INIT error ID "1" respawning too fast. Someone on another list said this may
be because the LC040 is buggy. I'm not sure if I have a buggy chip or not. I've
installed Software FPU, but don't know how to test it. I suppose there must be a
test of the embedded Linux FPU too. Do you have ideas?
