204.0. "Arithmetic Coprocessor for Mega ST." by BRSDVP::GEBOERS (Grin and ignore it.) Mon Aug 22 1988 11:39

    Well it seems that Atari is slowly coming up with their promissed
    products. Last week I received from my dealer a board containg the
    Arithmetic coprocessor ( A 68881 at 16MHz).
    It can be installed in the Mega ST version and goes in to the expansion
    connector. However ... I use the MWC V3.0 C compiler and would like to
    do some tests with the coprocessor. Is there anyone out there that knows
    of a library that can be used with MWC to use the 68881 ?

    If there is someone that has connections with MWC, could you inform with
    them to see if they will support the coprocessor ?

    Atari has apparently a library for the coprocessor, but they told me that
    it was for the DRI-C compiler only ...

    MWC has a DRTOMWC conversion program that will convert a DRI object
    file to an MWC object file.  I seem to recall using it once
    successfully.
    
    If you contact Motorola, they may be able to tell you where you
    can get the source for a library.
