I was going to post this in the Trading post, but I thought I'd ask a few questions here first.
I am looking to upgrade my LC with a 68881 FPU as well as the 68851 PMMU so that I can run some kind of Linux on like (NetBSD, OpenBSD, or the like). First off, I'm wondering if this is even possible, as I see no slots on the motherboard that would allow these chips. I've seen Ethernet cards that allow the FPU (but not the PMMU), but I'm not sure how they would work with Linux.
And lastly, I can't seem to find any place online that sells these (only eBay, and right now they are pretty expensive)
Looking for advice.
