For information, just see issues of MacWeek over the last month or so.
No official data, but well placed(?) guesses.

I have one question though:  The 68040 machines will be a tower and a 
desktop machine.  The desktop model will be in the 3 slot Mac cx/ci form-
factor.  What about the 6 slot Mac II/IIx/IIfx form factor?  Is this now
considered to be a dead end?
