 Hi Howard,
  When I spoke to Jim at the Boston show, he said a price of ~$995 for the
bare 68030 @16MHz (Tos 1.62 included) board. A 68882 would be extra.
Faster clock rates would be available (also as upgrades) and the ram
expansion board would a small extra too.
  The board looked great!  It was very compact and still left the Mega's
expansion slot open for such things as the Moniterm or Appletalk (gimme,
gimme) boards. It fit towards the bottom of the Mega so you can't still
have an internal hard disk. The ram board would then fit between it and
the floppy.  Good stuff.  Jim was a really pleasure to chat with. Nice
guy.

 Marshall
