Just another idea for use of the spare '030 in the Amiga.  There is a lot
of CPU wasted to run the bit-mapped graphics display when running
X-Windows, open-look, etc.  The '030 could run dedicated display
software and be sent messages about what is to be displayed.  
(almost like having the '030 acting like an X-terminal in the same 
box.) 

Then the '040 could do the actual work.

Just an idea...
