    Macintosh LC III with FPU and PDS Ethernet card

    My LC III ++ happens to have that Farallon ethernet card that doesn't have the FPU socket, and it has an FPU installed in the socket on the logic board (33MHz part because I overclocked my LC III to 33MHz from the stock 25MHz)

    Building a Micromac Performer SE from components
