MacUser also described several IIlc and si upgrade cards from third-party
suppliers, including various 68040 and 68030 cards.  Prices appear to range
from $1500-3000, though.

Non-exhaustive summary of '040 products:

Supplier	Card						Price
Radius		68040 Nubus with onboard memory			$3K
Total Systems Integration	68040 SE/30, si			$3K
Fusion Data Systems 68040 LC					$3K
IIR Inc 	68040 Nubus with memory module slots		$4K

Should be interesting: the Fusion Data card plugs into the '020 slot on the
LC, and is claimed to run 50% faster than a IIfx.
