Why don't you try asking NewTek for schematics!  No company is going to give 
out their product marketing plans to some shmoe who calls them up on the phone.
What you are doing is pointless.  NewTek was showing prototypes of the Toaster 
years before Commodore released the 3000, even before they had a 68030 board.  
Do you expect NewTek to hire psychics?  I'm sure that NewTek's second priority,
after getting the Toaster out the door at all, is to get it working in a 3000.
I'm equally sure that their lowest priority is faxing out PERT charts of their
product schedules as prizes to anyone who ties up their customer support line.

For anyone who "will just die" if they can't have a Toaster in a 3000, take the
back plate off so the board will physically fit and also swap the new Denise 
chip in the 3000 for an old one.
