Could a 68881 Math co-processor go fast?; HwNote07

I'd just put in a 68020 at the same time; then you get the coprocessor
interface and a few other benefits.

Computer System Associates in San Diego makes "daughter board" 68020/881
upgrades that plug into a 68010 socket.  They come in several different
shapes, so maybe one would fit in the Unix PC.  There might be some minor
OS problems.  (And, of course, minor OS problems become major ones without
source code, but I think it would be doable.)
