Hi.  Does anybody know whether or not GVP is working on an 040
board for the 2000?  If so, I might sell off my 2630 to get 040.
If they are working on one:

-are they going to use the same ridiculously expensive memory?
-support UNIX?
-support booting into 68000 mode
-have option (or include) a large external cache?
-Have support for high density SIMMs (4 or 16 meg)?

I hope that they come out with a memory system that is considerably
cheaper.  Their nibble mode RAM does not seem to have many
advantages at low clockrates.  My 2630 performs wonderfully,
granted a little slower than the GVP, but it also costs MUCH less.


			Thanks, Ralph
