I know that the OS-K (68K) C compiler, as supplied with the MM/1 (OSK v2.4) 
supports IEEE floating format and double precision.

But I vaguely seem to recall that the 6809 C is not IEEE standard compliant 
(predates the standard, and anyway single precision is good enough for games).

You might want to give the user the options -- fast, efficient, small floats, 
or full-blown IEEE 64-bit standard, whatever the cost.  --Mike K.
