Yes indeed,
	As I understand the situation at the end of this year/start of next
a new machine - the EST - will become available. This has the 68020, a blitter
and a better graphics chip giving 4096 colour pallette.
	It will run all properley written ST software, and proberbly be
supplied with unix as well. (unix would not work well on just the 68000 without
a lot more memory and hard disk)
