I'm going to test a Microbotics multifunction module with a 68881
on my A1000 (512K, 20M Supradrive outboard of a 2Meg Starboard2).
Any comments,requests or suggestions as to your favorite test?
If someone has already done this, please let me know. I was just
planning on installing the new math libraries and seeing if it made
any difference to any of my current software such as the various
mandelbrot programs and some Basic hacks.

re: .0 If you are a use of DBW_Render I would be interested in ray tracing timings with and without the 68881 | |||||
| 806.2 | do you have a favorite test case? | ERLANG::SLACK | Wed Oct 14 1987 20:45 | 6 | |
re .1 I beleive I have your Render but I'm not an active user.
If you could Email me a suitable test script I will give it a whirl.
Time permitting, I will install everything this weekend.

Well, bad news. With the MFM/68881 installed, I couldn't get kickstart
1.2 to boot. I tried with 1.1 and ran the Microbotocs RAM test
but it said "not a microbotics starboard". I removed the MFM and
everything was back to normal. So no results. I would to hear
from anyone who has successfully used a multifunction module on
their starboard2 whether with a math chip or not.
Suggestions?
