Indeed. The 68030 has a special interface to connect to the FPU directly which the 68000 doesn't have.

Makes sense.

@rubber_jonnie

Yes, it's handy to have one...

Finally gave up with the FPU tests...

The one I bought from exxos store was giving me errors, then passed all the tests and then started again to give errors.


So I've decided to fit back the original FPU, which surprisingly passed the tests several times and then started to give some errors.

And once the "FPU case" was closed, I could test my Lightning USB setup combined with the ATW800/2:


Everything is OK so far.

Now time to try the ATW800/2 video output.

Speaking about monitors, I have received 2 nice babies today for my TT:

Nice, I have a couple of NEC displays, though different models to these, and they are great for retro stuff.

Yes, my previous LCD1990FXp was really good too.

I have one of those and a 1970NX, both excellent. The 1970 is hooked up to my MSTE and the 1990 to my A1200 as a 2nd display.

Today was keyboard day.

Although my keyboard was working fine, I have decided to replace the original membrane which is famous to be prone to failure.

I had a new replacement member from Best Electronics, which looks sturdier than the original one.


That was also a good opportunity to clean the grubby keyboard which shines now more than ever:


I just blowed compressed air on the keycaps in order to remove the dust beneath them:


The keyboard is now closed and ready to use.


:D

And a last picture with one of my two 1990SX monitors.


Will have to adjust the settings now...

I am really pleased with the result.
