Summary: Another vote for a cheap, personal 68020 box

[]

Like Bill Wood, I would  also like to see a cheap add-on box that will
give the ST 68020/68881 power (ala Mac II...).  (Perhaps an add-on
card for the MegaST is a more reasonable expectation.)  For my purposes
(scientific computing: simulations, statistics) I need SPEED, including
fast floating point.  But I have no strong need for multi-tasking nor for
super hi-res graphics.  I have been waiting YEARS for a good, basic,
affordable PERSONAL number crunching machine based on the 680XX family.
The Mac II comes closer, but is soooo overpriced.  Here is your window
of opportunity, Atari!
