       Just how "available" is this MMU?  As I understand it, the 68851 (which
I presume Apple is going to be using) is still in short supply, and costs
over $800 a piece in "sufficient" quantities.  It maybe easy for a person
like yourself to obtain (i.e.  working in a company that develops the 
computer), but mortals like us just can't get them that easily _RIGHT NOW_!
