With all the talk about the 68040 accelerator boards and such, I was wondering
if someone could maybe post a quick summary of the differences between the
68030 and 68040.  I know that the 40 has a built-in Floating-Point
co-processor (though without all the functionality of the 68882, from what
I hear) and a built in cache...what other features does it have?  And if
you had a Mac with a 50MHz 040, how fast would your memory have to be to
avoid wait states?  Just curious...
