The A3000 was designed to handle MC68040's real easily, and making '040 Amigas, in this respect, will be much easier than an '040 Mac. Remember, '040's aren't out yet, and NeXT doesn't even have them either. I'll be Commodore has an '040 system ready to go out the door as soon as they sell in mass quantities. > -- > Ronald van der Pol -Joseph Hillenburg UUCP: ...iuvax!valnet!joseph ARPA: valnet!joseph@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu INET: joseph@valnet.UUCP
