Amiga 1200 internal FPU anyone can do this!

E290 In this episode the Amiga 1200 gets an internal FPU!. why? why not the socket is there. lets see how much it actually helps! This will greatly benefit STOCK or anyone who has a card with no FPU (like my TF1230) it was super simple, and cost less than 30$ all in. and only took about 30 minutes from start to finish. AIBB beachball results from 61.3 seconds down to 18!, if you purchase a fpu all you need is a 20mhz or better. up to you.
