- Electrically, yet. It is trivial to hook up a 68881 or 68882.

- The problem is software. The 68360 doesn't have the microcode for the
- coprocessor interface of the '020 and '030. You would only be able to
- access it as if it were a peripheral. You could possibly write a
- line F exception handler to make it transparent to user software.
