	Most advertisers of Mac CPU upgrades now tout "makes your system
ready for system 7" as one of the main reasons for upgrading your cpu.  Given
that system 7 is still a long way from public release, how can you tell which.
ones will & will not be supported.  Given that Connectix has had some 
difficulty catering to all the different boards out there, how is Apple going
to fare ?

	I am still using my Prodigy accelerated SE, but as this is now dis-
continued (pity, it still looks to be one of the better accelerators) I fear
that I might lose all VM support when System 7 finally arrives;  I have been
looking at the Dove 030 board as a replacement, it claims the Sys 7 compat-
ibility, but already has far more hardware incompatibilities than the Levco.

	Has anybody any information to help me keep the dreaded obsolescence
at bay - having owned a Lisa, then an XL, I don't want to get caught again !
