In a recent ad in the Wall Street Journal (March 19, 1990) a few sentences in
Apple's ad for the IIfx caught my eye and generated a few questions.
 
The ad says, "It is...the first personal computer to have two additional
processors--with the power of two additional personal computers--to manage the
flow of information inside.  So that that screaming 68030 chip isn't slowed
down by the more mundane tasks of computer housekeeping."

Question: Exactly what type of processors are these and what are they doing?

The ad also says, "...the new Apple 24-bit color card...gives you the ability
to work with as many as 16.8 million colors..."

Question: How many can it display at one time?
