Another caveat for the 68040 upgrades ...

If you haven't already noticed in the latest issue of HP's FYI
mailing, they've reduced the Mflop rating of the 68040. When
they first announced the 425t last June, HP quoted 20 MIPS and
3.5 Mflops. Now they are saying 20 MIPS and 2.6 Mflops, or
2.9 Mflops if you have an optional external cache installed
to supplement the on-chip data cache. I don't remember if the cache
can be added to the desktop boxes (ie. 400t/425t), it may only
be available on the deskside boxes (ie. 4002/425s/433s). 

Another belated gift from Motorola ...
