   If they get the software fixed, it would be, in general, a pretty nice

A cheap dedicated second processor would go along way towards making
the NeXT Station color a best seller.  Perhaps an old MIPs R2000 chip.
How about the AMD 29000 series?  Apple uses them so they probably
aren't too expensive.
