Better than that, I'd like to know if more the new 68040 board can
coexist with the already good 68030 in the old cube.  It seems that
multiple processors in a NeXT would be a reasonable thing to do
since the underlying OS is MACH, which is expressly designed for
distributed processing (and also causes the NeXT to take a performance
hit over the standard UNIX kernel model).
