I wouldn't have put it that way--if I get a Mac, I WILL get one with
an FPU, & other expansion will be unimportant--but, yes, that
does seem to be what it means.  The bit about being able to use
NuBus or Direct Slot is probably pretty silly.  I wish Apple had
settled on one or the other (pref. NuBus, since only the 030 had
the DS before) & put it in from the start.

I really doubt there's anything major out there that goes in a Direct Slot
that isn't available in a NuBus version.
