I was confused. so which macs had true 68040s in them? quadras? That's a big list. Generally, almost all Quadras except the Quadra 605 come with full '040s, and most '040 Performas have LC040s. Some Centris computers shipped with LC040, but those are rare (they can be spottted by the lack of ethernet on the motherboard). Some poeple upgrade their Macs; I've bought many Quadra 605 (they're so small, yet useful...), and a few came with full '040s. But with full '040s on eBay for typically under $10 USD, it shouldn't be hard to upgrade. Soon Bruce's 1.6.1 snapshots for FPU-less Macs will be available, and, soon, binary NetBSD packages for FPU-less m68k, so if you can't upgrade, you'll have many more options in a month or two.

The C610 was a LC040 machine; the top-end C610s had ethernet on the motherboard.
