Acorn introduced the WE32206 Floating Point Co-Processor with the R140 Unix workstation. The WE32206 interfaces with the ARM CPU co-processor bus and could process single, double and extended precision floating point operations. It also handled sin, cos and tangent. The WE32206 is clocked at 24MHz. The serial number is 25-AKA20-1000099.

Acorn introduced the WE32206 Floating Point Co-Processor at the same time as the R140 Unix Workstation.
