Just to add to the confusion with a question for Mac users:

	I (mis-?)understand the following:

	Mac Classic	8 MHZ	68000 (16 bit mpu, no floating point,
				       no mmu, 1 mem slot)
	Mac LC		16MHZ?	68020 (32 bit mpu, no floating point,
				       no mmu, 1 68020 processor direct slot)
	(late)Mac SE	??Mhz	68000 (16 bit mpu, no floating point,
				       no mmu, one expansion(?) slot)
	Mac SE/30	??Mhz	68030 (32 bit mpu, 68882 floating point(?),
				       mmu, 1 68030 processor direct slot)
	Mac SI		16?MHZ  68030 (32 bit mpu, 68882 floating point(?),
				       mmu, 1 NuBus slot)

	Questions:

	What can you do musically (sequencing, Sample editing (dsp), etc)
	with each?

	How does a Mac SE become an SE/30?  How much?

	Which is the music configuration of choice?

Thanks,
Dan
