The referecned article states that since the proposed Gadgets 68030 board
runs at 16 mhz, and the Mac IIci runs at 25 mhz, the Mac will be faster.

	One option I am very much pulling for is a 32 Mhz clockrate on the
68030 board. It's available and it keeps the bus synchronous.	

	We hope to see first prototype boards around Christmas. Remember,
this project is primarily for us, for inhouse development; the decision to
market it to the general public has not been made. I'd like to turn loose
a 32 Mhz 68030 on some of my assembly projects -- and none of this waiting
for 8 mhz ST hardware, either.

	-- thanks, Dave / Gadgets by Small
