First off, sorry about the repost, I forgot to crosspost.
Does anybody know if GVP is working on an 040 board for the 2000?
If so, I will be selling off my 2630.

What things will they have?

-space for a large cache external to the 040 (in addition to internal caches)
-support for SIMM modules for 32 bit memory expansion
	-hopefully, support for higher density packages (ie, 4 meg and 16
	 meg SIMMs)
-a cheaper memory subsystem.  The current memory prices for the 030 boards
is ridiculous.  How about just plain old memory, or the option of plugging
in whatever type of memory you want.  My 2630 has excellent performance
(its memory performance is not much slower than the GVP at 25 MHz), and
it costs MUCH, MUCH less.
-booting off of 68000
-UNIX

			Thanks, Ralph
