About the Classic ii fpu PCB
Classic ii fpu is an open source PCB design by dymczykm, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 68.6 × 65 mm, with 12 components from 7 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the MC68881FN. By type, the board carries 7 capacitors, 2 connectors, 1 IC, 1 crystal and 1 resistor.
From the project
FPU card for Macintosh Classic II.
This repo contains a KiCAD design of an expansion card that adds an MC68882 FPU to your Macintosh Classic II. The board has two layers to keep the PCB cost down. It offers a switchable clock source between the system clock (16 MHz, synchronous operation) and a crystal oscillator on the board (40 MHz, asynchronous operation; tested with MC68882FN40A, the rumours claim 50 MHz will work too).
