I think that Wolfgang Denk meant it very literally. The VFP9-S is just
a block for building processors; and probably there are also some
test chips. But I'm sure that most people on this list have never
held an ARM processor with an FPU in their hands and had to implement
a bootloader for it.
I remember that there were FPU boards available for the Acorn Archimedes
computers but that's quite long ago.
With best regards
Andreas
