- The PowerCentral cdev has PowerMath built in. There is no stand-alone
- PowerMath cdev that I know of.
-
- I'm running a 50 MHz PowerCache with FPU on a 20 meg IIx. The control
- panel does crash when opened under A/UX, but it should work fine with
- MacOS. If that is your problem, just install the cdev in your
- MacPartition sys folder, and configure it properly before launching
- A/UX. If the cache is enabled when A/UX is launched, it will stay
- enabled when it is running.
-
- If PowerCentral is crashing under MacOS, call Daystar. That shouldn't
- happen. I don't know whether PowerMath will work without an on-board
- FPU; what it does is to pass SANE traps to the FPU -- I'm not sure
- if it will work with the 16 MHz FPU on the motherboard.
