Not the floating point, but saw his code for other parts of the 6502 Apple products, he really was a genius. The code is both very clever AND quite understandable.

My understanding is his circuit design was similar. One thing, use a part of the circuit for two different things at different points of the clock cycles, so parts count was reduced.

There's also "Sweet 16", Woz's "16-bit virtual machine" that's in the Apple ][ Integer basic ROMs. Another piece of pure genius code.
