[sdiy] Tiny FPU chip

[James Patchell]

Unless I missed something, I did not see anywhere what the computational 
throughput was...looking at the product, my best guess is these guys used a 
PIC micro controller and created firmware that does these 
calculations...which means that anybody could basically do the 
same.  Generally, all of those functions come with a standard C 
compiler.  Unless I am really missing something I don't see, I can't figure 
out where the value is....
