Both cards are not milestones in hadrware engineering. The FPE is a bit
flakey, and the FastMath is built around a pretty dumb "math" coproc.

Instead, I recommend you to get a NumberCruncher card. It's fully compatible
with the FPE and fixes all the problems the FPE suffers from. The
FPE/NumberCruncher are the most widely supported math coprocs.

The NumberCruncher is still being manufactured by Mr. Andreas Schmidt from
Germany. I'm not affiliated with him.

Anyone can provide his address?
