Would it also be possible to use its math co-processor in
Apple mode?  I am thinking of a SANE patch that would use
the FPU on the PCT as an I/O device, much like the way the
FPE and Number Cruncher works.

Although the old chip probably won't help in the case of a
Zipped or Xwarped GS, for unaccelerated machines it may be
of use.
