Commodore has never announced plans to build such a board.  Very simply, I
put the capability in for such a thing because it was reasonably easy to do.
It's up to Commodore or one of the 3rd parties to build such a thing, just
like any other expansion board.

If Commodore wants it as a product, it would be technically very easy to do.
Perhaps you all can convince them.  If not, maybe a 3rd party company will
build one, there certainly were a couple of them interested in this.  Such a
product may not produce enough volume for Commodore to consider, but might
be just the thing for a smaller operation.  Certainly GVP has sold a number
of 32 bit DRAM daughterboards for their 68030 board.
