It may have been powered up for testing with it installed but the seller removed it after. The Weitek FPU is one of the more difficult ones to find. Check his other listings to see if he's selling one separately.

It's interesting - seller claims that no FPU hasn't ever been in 387 socket or elsewhere on this board. He is surprised too when he had made testing screens some Weitek FPU was detected.

Is possible there is Weitek FPU integrated to chipset or processor ?
