I can't see any reason to include NuBus slots. they're 32 bits wide, 10MHz Bus
mastering, multiprocessor slots. Thhis is fine, but they won't fit in a GS
case and the cost is prohibitive, about $500/slot + $500 for the silicon to
implement them. This immediately doubles the cost of the GS without providing
anything useful (the device drivers are written for 68020+ hosts). 16 bit
slots for a 65832 ( 32 for that matter) would be useful though.
