  Boy, this is curious.

  The A3000 is a 68030 machine (16 or 25 MHz) with a slot for an '040
card when it comes out. 

  Commodore's UNIX is not shipping yet (except to a few big buyers). 
It is SVR4. Picking up Sun's Motorola based machines would certainly
make some sense from a software standpoint *if* these machines were
upgraded to run SVR4.
