Is the FPU socketed?  If so, can you remove it, and what the boot and 
test output looks like?

I've not had my uV2000 opened up (or even turned on yet...), but that'd 
be my next step.

If you can't remove the FPU (likely), the diagnostics would probably be 
complaining about it not working...

Maybe if I have some time, I'll dig mine out and try playing with it.
