@MMS - Yes, that's a perfect job for a Transputer. The T800 FPU is very powerful and does 64bit IEEE 754 floating point... that said, you'd need a routine to create these on the C= side.
In my Mandelbrot demo, I cheated and predefined them in an array
static char left[] = {0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0xc0}; //-2.0
static char right[] = {0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0xf0,0x3f}; // 1.0
static char top[] = {0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0xf2,0x3f}; // 1.125
static char bottom[] = {0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0xf2,0xbf}; //-1.125
'bout the power: I thought about an external power-plug but that resulted in a routing and jumper nightmare (to prevent feedback) so I left that out for now. Maybe in a next revision.
