  It has occured to me after reading the post on how to put your 030
board in your 040 cube and make it run post that perhaps NeXT could
make a multiprocessor board to boost preformance on the cubes.
  Imagine a board that you could put 1 to 4 68040 ( or even 88110 )
chips on right in next to your 030/040 motherboard.  The Mach kernel
can handel this ( can't it? ).   I'm sure you would need quite a bit
of memory to get it to work really well, but I'm convinced that MY
cube isn't going to run the way I want it to until i get at least 40
meg of RAM ( not that I am unhappy now, but I do love speed )
  
  So people of net land, what do you think?
